Physics Olympiad

The Physics Olympiad is a competition for motivated high school students. Our main goal is to challenge young physics enthusiasts and to connect likeminded people. Students who do well in our competition will represent Switzerland at the European and International Physics Olympiad (EuPhO and IPhO).
