​A competition for high school students. It includes short problems, that require students to provide creative solutions.

​The competition is open to European countries and other countries. The participating countries are entitled to send 5 students and one leader. The competition follows the policies and topics of the International Olympiad. 

​ ​

 

The competition is divided into two parts:

• The first part is theoretical which, contains three problems with complicated ideas, for students to provide creative solutions. They are given five hours to solve them.

• ​The second part is practical. It consists of one or two problems, and the students are also given five hours to solve them. This competition differs from the International Olympiad; as the students discuss their solutions with the scientific committee rather than the team leaders.
