Dear Students, Parents and Supervisors.
We are happy to introduce our Physics & Astronomy Olympiad. This Olympiad has 2 Rounds: Online Elimination Round and Global Round.
Students can register themselves through our website, or by contacting their country representatives. Students starting from grade 7 can participate in this Olympiad.
The Online Elimination Round will have 25 multiple choice questions. Exam will start at 10am (local time) and will last 60 minutes. Students need to choose only one Elimination Round to participate.
