The International Scientific Physics Olympiad, held in the capital of Yugra, will expand its participant geography, TASS reports. Organizers also plan to host it in other friendly countries. According to them, for the next five years, participants will be invited to Russia. Subsequently, this tournament could be transformed into a BRICS or SCO Olympiad, allowing other countries to host the young physicists' competition in turn.
Next year, the tournament will include an educational module where children will learn to work with scientific instruments. Training with equipment will be organized right at the Olympiad venue. Schoolchildren will have the opportunity to try out oscilloscopes, spectrometers, and various sensors.
In Khanty-Mansiysk this year, participants were provided with all the scientific tools and given complex tasks to give them a taste of scientific work.
As reported by "Russian World," the Russian team became the absolute champion of the International Scientific Physics Olympiad (ISPhO) in terms of points scored. The Russians also won the Grand Prix of the tournament held in Khanty-Mansiysk.
In the team standings, Belarusian schoolchildren took first place, Kazakh schoolchildren took second, and young physicists from Armenia took third.
Seventeen teams from CIS countries, Latin America, and Asia competed for the victory. The Olympiad was held in a mixed format: twelve teams came to the capital of Yugra, while participants from five foreign countries completed tasks online. The Olympiad consisted of theoretical and experimental parts.
