International Mathematics Competition for University Students

The International Mathematics Competition (IMC) is an annual residential mathematics competition for university-level students. It features problems in Algebra, Analysis (Real and Complex), Geometry and Combinatorics and is conducted in English. Participants live in the Hall of Residence provided by the organisers and take part in problem-solving and evaluation sessions led by academic staff. The event fosters international exchange among university mathematics students and institutions.

Participation in an international mathematics competition; residential accommodation in the Hall of Residence provided by the organisers (condition of participation); opportunity for academic exchange and networking.

Planned for students completing their first, second, third or fourth year of university education with a maximum age of 23 years at the time of the competition; there is no minimum age; individual students and teams (with or without a Team Leader) are also welcome. Each Team Leader is required to have completed a PhD or equivalent and hold an academic position at a university-level institution.

Traditionally participating universities send students and Team Leaders; individual students and teams may also register. Registration is handled via the IMC website.
