Winners in Rolling section
The Olympiad was first launched in 2013 by a small initiative team — and has grown significantly since then. Today, it brings together universities and students from around the world, expanding into new areas and sections. This has been made possible thanks to the active participation of students, professors, and organizers. Thank you for being with us!

This year, the Olympiad also introduced a new logo. The green color represents youth, growth, and development. It reflects the spirit of the Olympiad — openness to new ideas, forward movement, and learning through discovery. We believe the Olympiad inspires students not only to compete, but also to pursue a thoughtful and meaningful path in their chosen field.
