The competition was held simultaneously at three locations: Bern, Lausanne, and Zurich. In Zurich, following the exam, participants had the chance to gain insight into current research through lab tours at UZH. Out of a total of 78 participants, the following 29 secured a spot in the final, including three from Liechtenstein:
Elihu Bao, Jorge Bertrán de Lis Orozco, Laurent Casagrande, Leonard Duparc, Svenja Felber, Lucas Fillet, Sania Gandbhir, Levin Glatz, Celice Göldi (LIE), Elias Hohenegger (LIE), Anna Ineichen, Alan Jong Poeta Ferreira, Jakub Kwiatkowski, Kostya Lemeshko, Eric Lüscher, Florin Aaron Märki, Zeno Orglmeister, Charlotte Reymond, Magsud Rzayev, Johann Schmid, Benoit Schmit, Andrej Severa, Tabea Spillmann, Kai Spirk, Leo Swedenborg, Pranavendra Reddy Tammireddy, Matthias Wagner, Leon Felix Zimmermann, Nevio Zogg (LIE).
In February, the young physicists will practice their experimental skills at EPFL before putting their abilities to the test at the final round in Aarau on March 7 and 8. There, they will have the chance to qualify for the European Physics Olympiad in Sweden or the International Physics Olympiad in Colombia.
We would like to thank everyone for their participation. Even if you didn't make it to the final this year, we would be delighted to see you again next year—whether as a participant or as a volunteer. Just get in touch with us!
