The 8th ICMC

The ICMC aims to be a undergraduate-level mathematics competition for all undergrads across Europe. Each year we run a two-round individual competition. Round One, held on the last Sunday of November, includes 6 problems over 3 hours. The top competitors are then invited to participate in Round Two, held on the last Sunday of February, which features 5 harder problems over 4 hours. Over the past seven years we have seen more than 1000 students from 22 universities compete.

How to register

Starting in 2023, ICMC decentralised the registration process and you will need to register via your own university. Look for your university under the Partner Universities below, then contact the email next to it to find out how to register. If your university is not listed, encourage your mathematics department or society to become a partner, which they can do by contacting us before the 20th of November.

If your university has not been partnered by the 14th of November, you have the option of making invigilating arrangements yourself. Should you choose to do this, your invigilator must be an academic staff member. Contact us to find out more.
