The Competitive Infrastructure Initiative (CII) seeks to identify, develop, and exploit technologies that advance the capabilities of competitive based learning in programs of computing sciences at universities world-wide. Each year the CII conducts the Competitive Learning Institute Symposium (CLIS) in conjunction with the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) World Finals.

CLI Symposium starting from 2024 at Astana, Kazakhstan will be maintained in https://cli.u.icpc.global/.
