European Go Congress (EGC 2024)

The French Go Federation (FFG), with the support of ENAC, is organizing an international European Go Congress (EGC 2024) from July 26 to August 10 on the ENAC campus.

This will be the biggest event of its kind in Europe, with some 1,500 participants of 45 different nationalities. This is the 66th edition of the congress, which takes place every year in one of the 32 member countries of the European Go Federation (EGF).

Go is one of the world's oldest strategy games, invented by the Chinese over 3,000 years ago. This strategy game, very popular in Asia (China, Korea and Japan), is increasingly being developed in Europe under the impetus of EGF members. The rules are very simple to learn (3 minutes are enough). The aim is for two players to divide the space on a board by placing stones alternately on the board. The winner is the player with the largest area (territory).
