International Physics Olympiad
IPhO
The International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) is a prestigious annual competition designed to challenge and identify the most talented pre-university (typically under 20 years old) physics students globally. It’s a celebration of physics that brings together exceptional young minds to test their problem-solving abilities and deepen their understanding of the subject.
The theoretical examination lasts 5 hours and consists of three questions. Usually these questions involve more than one part. The practical examination may consist of one laboratory examination of five hours, or two, which together take up the full five hours.
