Tehran – Five Iranian students won silver medals at the 55th International Physics Olympics and ranked 11th in the world.
IPHO 2025, held in Paris from July 18th to 24th, attracted 440 candidates from over 90 countries.
Mohammad-Hassan Sadeqinejad, Arya Zarabi, Ilya Qashee, Mohammad-Hassan Golabdar and Milad Mohammadi have won silver medals, IRIB reported.
The main goal of IPHO is to examine knowledge, analytical skills, critical thinking and problem-solving skills in theoretical and experimental physics at the highest level.
Two five-hour tests created by the host country and revised by the leaders of the involved teams are open to candidates competing individually. The first is experimental using equipment supplied to the candidate. The second is theoretical, focusing on phenomena and their modeling.
The 54th edition of IPHO was organized by Isfahan University of Technology in Iran. Iranian students who participated in the 54th IPHO were able to win gold and four silver medals.
