Since 1984 the IPhO has collaborated with UNESCO for moral support and publicity. An advisory committee, consisting of 14 experienced people, was introduced in 1996. The minimal scores required for Olympiad medals and honourable mentions are chosen by

176-538: The IPhO was established in 1968 at a dedicated meeting in Czechoslovakia, soon after the second IPhO. There the statutes and the syllabus were officially accepted by the International Board, which consists of the delegation heads from all participating countries. The team size was finally set to five students in 1971, and in 1976 the number of experimental problems was set to one or two, while there are three theoretical problems in each competition. In 1984,

198-465: The IPhO. The venue of the Olympiad is decided for years ahead. With over 80 actively participating countries today, each IPhO is a big event with around 700 attendees and a total budget of several million euros. A small fraction of the cost is covered by a participation fee of around €3500 per team, which was introduced in 1997 on a voluntary basis and made obligatory in 2013. The formal structure of

220-581: The Rajasthan Chapter of IAPT (IAPT RC-6) launched the first global online physics competition, YGPT. The aim of YGPT is to encourage students to utilize online resources to study physics. The competition will be held in 5 stages, the first 3 being online rounds and the final two rounds to be held in Jaipur, India. Each round will consist of a 'Physics Fight' in which the students will be given a conceptual physics video to watch and 7 days to prepare for

242-607: The event of a tie at the last position in the list all students with the same marks at this position will qualify to appear for the Stage II examination. The fee for the NSEA is about Rs. 150 ($ 5 for overseas candidates). Application for this examination is typically handled through the school/college to which the student is affiliated Held in first week of February, this is a subjective exam lasting for 3 hours. Top 15 students from group A and top 35 students from group B are selected for

After round 3, the top 100 students will be invited to Jaipur for two pen and paper rounds, eventually culminating in awarding of gold, silver and bronze medals to the winners. International Physics Olympiad The International Physics Olympiad ( IPhO ) is an annual physics competition for high school students . It is one of the International Science Olympiads . The first IPhO

286-472: The five countries Bulgaria , Czechoslovakia , Hungary , Poland and Romania participated. Each country sent a delegation of three students and one supervisor. Already in this first edition, the competition consisted of two exams, one theoretical and one experimental, and the students went on excursions while their exams were marked. The second IPhO was held in Hungary, with the additional participation of

308-622: The full five hours. The idea of creating the International Physics Olympiad was conceived in Eastern Bloc countries, inspired by the 1959 established International Mathematical Olympiad . Poland seemed to offer the best conditions at the time, and so the first IPhO was held in Warsaw in 1967, organized by Czesław Ścisłowski . Some months prior to the competition, all Central European countries were invited, and

330-485: The necessary long-term preparation effort, no IPhO was held in 1978 and in 1980. The first Western Country to host the IPhO was the Federal Republic of Germany in 1982.
