About EGMO
A 100% female international mathematics olympiad
The European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad is one of the most prestigious international mathematics competitions for high school students, and the largest one dedicated to women. First held in 2012 with 19 countries, EGMO has been such a success that it has become, by now, one of the most prestigious contests in the world for international mathematics, and the largest one dedicated to girls, with around
- 60 countries
- 250 contestants
- 500 people
Whereas the international Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), which inspired the creation of EGMO, is still nowadays a very masculine event (10-15% of girls only), EGMO brilliantly demonstrates that women have certainly no less enthusiasm and talent for mathematics. Its aim is, thus, to encourage girls to pursue their passion for mathematics, through an opportunity to meet other young mathematicians from all over the world and to illustrate their talents on an international stage.
EGMO 2026 will be hosted in 11-13 Rue Pierre et Marie Curie 75231 Paris Cedex 05 France, by Animath and the University of Bordeaux, from Thursday, April 9th to Wednesday, April 15th. France has been an active participant in EGMO since 2013, but has only hosted in all its history one single international olympiad : IMO 1983, in Paris (32 delegations, just under 200 contestants). EGMO 2026 will therefore be the second, and by far the largest, international olympiad ever organized in our country; it will also be the first in over 40 years. We are all the more delighted to welcome this 15th edition in the beautiful seaside city of Bordeaux, and hope to make it an unforgettable experience for everyone.
