The 16th International Mathematics and Science Olympiad (IMSO) is taking place in Hanoi from November 26 to December 1.

This year event, themed “Thinking – Innovation – Outstanding Skills”, drew the participation of 719 contestants from 24 countries and territories worldwide, including Cambodia, China, Bulgaria, Malaysia, Myanmar, Taiwan (China), Thailand, and the Republic of Korea.

The 16th IMSO is divided into two groups, with Group A (International) having 352 international candidates, and Group B (Local) with 367 students from 22 districts and towns in Hanoi.
