European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad

Last updated

The European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO) is a mathematical olympiad for girls which started in 2012, and is held in April each year. It was inspired by the China Girls Mathematical Olympiad (CGMO). [1] [2] Although the competition is held in Europe, it is open to female participants from all over the world, and is considered the most prestigious mathematics competition for girls. In recent years, participants from around 55 countries have been invited to the competition.

Process and scoring

The competition is similar in style to the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), with two papers, each consisting of three problems to be solved in 4.5 hours, taken on consecutive days. Participating countries send teams consisting of four female mathematicians below the age of 20 who are not yet enrolled at a university. Each of the six problems are marked out of 7, making the maximum possible score 42 points.

The first edition was held in Cambridge, UK. Since then, 13 other countries in Europe have organized the EGMO. The number of participating countries has grown from 19 in the first edition to 57 in the eleventh edition, and the number of contestants from 70 in the first edition to 222 in the eleventh edition. [3] The competitors participate as a team of 4 under the national flag but the contest itself is individual. The selection process varies between countries, but it often involves national Mathematical Olympiads and other Team Selection Tests (TSTs), which become progressively more selective.

Medals are awarded according to this criterion:
