Reporting on the Science Olympiad means reporting on science, youth - and the future. You contribute to making science more attractive and interesting for young people. Listen to our young talents now - and give them a voice.
Mathematics
Vom 9. bis 21. Juli versammelte die Internationale Mathematik-Olympiade über 600 junge Mathegenies in Shanghai. Zwei Genfer gewannen Gold, ein Urner und eine Urnerin Bronze, zwei weitere Jugendliche aus Genf und Freiburg erhielten Ehrenmeldungen. Was steckt hinter dem erstaunlichen Erfolg?
Economics
Das fünfköpfige Schweizer Team bei der 9. Internationalen Wirtschafts-Olympiade (12.-20. Juli in Shenzhen, China) hat einen neuen Rekord gesetzt. Zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte des Wettbewerbs gewannen Schweizer Jugendliche Goldmedaillen – und zwar nicht nur eine, sondern gleich zwei.
Chemistry
1987 nahmen erstmals vier Schweizer an der Internationalen Chemie-Olympiade teil - die erste Schweizer Teilnahme an einer Wissenschafts-Olympiade. Dieses Jahr (10.-19. Juli in Taschkent) bringen erstmals alle vier Delegationsmitglieder eine Medaille mit nach Hause.

Economics
For the Swiss Science Olympiads, this summer has been a historical success. Apart from many other impressive achievements, the Maths and Economics Olympiads both came home from China with two gold medals. We asked their leaders about the secret to their success - and about the nature of competition.
Philosophy
Association
On the news portal of the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation, Lara Gafner talks about her experiences at the Philosophy Olympiad and with the Swiss Study Foundation.
Chemistry
In March, we spoke to Leonard Cardenas, who participated in mathematics both in Cuba and in Switzerland. This inspired a young chemist with a similar story to reach out for an interview.
