Dear students, leaders, observers, visitors, and all who took part in the preparation of this Olympiad,
The intense week of EuPhO 2020 has successfully ended. The online format was a new experience for all of us, and we are happy to say that it went well. We didn’t have any technical problems – something that is quite rare in this type of undertaking. On Monday and Tuesday, we had the theoretical and experimental rounds respectively, with starting times that were different depending on which parts of the world the students were. During that time the Zoom meeting was up and running for 28 hours in total. This was probably one of the largest and longest Zoom meetings ever held.
53 countries participated in EuPhO 2020, with 260 students in total. We hope that you enjoyed the problems and are happy with your results. Maybe some of you did not fully express your skills this time, but you learned new things about physics and new ways to tackle tough problems.
Thank You all who worked hard for the success of this Olympiad. Thank You Students for participating and congratulations to the winners!
