The International Neo Science Olympiad is conducted in the following categories: coding (grades 3-11); mathematics (grades 3-11); natural science (grades 3-8); physics (grades 9-11); chemistry (grades 9-11); and biology (grades 9-11).
The International Neo Science Olympiad is a prestigious global event dedicated to celebrating and advancing excellence in the fields of science and mathematics among students worldwide. It serves as a platform for students to engage in rigorous competition, showcase their problem-solving skills, and collaborate with peers from diverse backgrounds.
Beyond competition, it fosters a culture of intellectual curiosity, ethical conduct, and lifelong learning, inspiring the next generation of scientists, mathematicians, and innovators to make a positive impact on our world.
It's a global contest open to primary, secondary and high school students.
The International Neo Science Olympiad offers both online examinations and hosts a physical event known as the Grand Final program, which takes place during the summer season.
The foremost goal of the International Neo Science Olympiad is to encourage and celebrate excellence in the disciplines of science and mathematics. It strives to identify, acknowledge, and reward exceptional talent and aptitude among students in these subjects.
The Olympiad places a strong emphasis on problem-solving abilities and critical thinking. It presents participants with complex and thought-provoking problems that require innovative approaches and analytical reasoning.
