MATFIN Students Shine at This Year’s International Science Olympiads

July 22, 2026

With the conclusion of the 2025/26 academic year, the international Olympiad season in mathematics, physics and informatics, and has begun, bringing outstanding results for the Hungarian teams. With only two exceptions, all team members prepared for these competitions through MATFIN’s Olympiad School programme. Since the beginning of the academic year, MATFIN Olympians have won two gold, ten silver, and twenty-one bronze medals, as well as three honourable mentions in individual competitions. In team competitions, they have earned one silver and one bronze medal – and the summer is far from over!

Congratulations to all the students on their excellent achievements, as well as to their team leaders and coaches!

Below we present the medal table by competition, which will be continuously updated throughout the summer as further results from the international Olympiads become available.
