European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad

The EGMO Board met on March 6th and March 15th to discuss how to react to the Russian aggression in Ukraine identified by the General Assembly of the United Nations. The EGMO Board made two decisions (see below). The EGMO Board acted under the Force Majeure clause of General Regulations and has also been in contact with the IMO Board.

The decisions were (i) to exclude Russia from EGMO 2022 and (ii) to allow 4 students from Russia to compete remotely in EGMO 2022 as private individuals (eligible for certificates, prizes and medals) without national flags or symbols.

A vote of the EGMO Jury took place. The decisions above were confirmed.

A more detailed explanation of the reasons for these decisions and the exact result of the vote have been sent to EGMO Jury members.

Yuliia Zdanovska

With greatest sadness we inform you that Yuliia Zdanovska, EGMO contestant of the years 2016 and 2017, was killed in shelling by Russian forces in Kharkiv, Ukraine. She was only 21.

Incredibly bright, passionate, kind human being. Yuliia loved kids and mathematics. As a winner of various competitions in mathematics and computer science, she was able to choose any career path she wanted. She decided to follow her dream and to teach kids and revolutionize education. She was going to teach kids in small towns and villages, who didn’t have the privilege of high-quality education.

When the war started, Yuliia chose to stay in Kharkiv and help, because this was her hometown. She said, “I am staying in Kharkiv until we win”.

Glory to heroes! Forever missed, forever in our hearts….

Yuliia Kravchenko and the EGMO Board, March 2022.
