The 8th IMC is being co-organized by University College
London and Charles University, Prague. It is being sponsored by
Goldman Sachs. It will extend over six days, rather that the five
days in the previous IMCs, and take place in Prague.
Every participating university is invited to send several
students and one teacher. Individual students are welcome. The
competition is planned for students completing their first, second,
third or fourth year of university education and will consist of 2
Sessions of 5 hours each. Problems will be from the fields of
Algebra, Analysis (Real and Complex) and Combinatorics. The working
language will be English.
