Team Italy and team Germany made history by reaching the finals for the first time. Similarly, Germany has now won the tournament for the first time since its inception.

Apart from sharing amazing physics, the tournament also had organized visits to the physics labs of ETH Zürich, labs of the Paul Scherrer Institute, and a tour of the Zürich city.

Remember about the registration deadline – 20 December! We are expecting registrations from the national representatives. Contact your national rep if you want to participate. If your country does not have any national rep, contact the execom directly.

The deadline to register is December 20, 2023.

This year 21 teams will be able to participate, the largest edition of the IPT yet!
But usually, we have more than 21 teams that register for the tournament, therefore we can expect there to be a preselection round to participate. Which will be done according to the new 2-round preselection format. This new format has been set in place to give the teams the chance to make changes to their submission after reading the referees’ reports that they will receive after the first round. Since this format is an adapted version of the peer-review process that is used for publishing in the scientific community, this preselection gives the chance to all the teams to gain some experience with an aspect of research that is often only encountered for the first time during a Ph.D.

The execom will announce on December 21 if there will be a preselection. Assuming there will be one, the deadline to submit the manuscript is January 7, 2024. You can find all the details of the new format and how the manuscripts are evaluated on the dedicated page.

The event will be at The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zürich) in Zürich, Switzerland. We wish the best luck to all the teams during the national selections and hope to meet you all next year in the heart of the alps!

• Poland,  Germany and Team IPT
•  Italy, Ukraine and France (Ecole polytechnique)

Poland and Italy won the most points during the semi-finals, but the finalists are chosen according to the sum of points acquired during the selective fights AND the semifinals. The teams joining France (Lyon) (automatically selected because they finished first in the selective Fights) for the 15th International Physicists’ Final are then Team IPT and Poland.

That being said, it is worth noting that the battle to access the IPT finale was very tight, since Ukraine arrived only 0.23 points over 228 behind Team IPT!

Join us tomorrow morning at 8:30 GMT+2 (CEST) for the climax of this amazing week, the Grand Finale of the 15th International Physicists’ Tournament! The live stream will be available on our youtube channel.

Thanks a lot to all the volunteers who participated in the problem selection process!

Eager to participate? Then don’t forget to register through your National IPT Representative!

The event will be at Universidad Industrial de Santander (UIS) in Bucaramanga, Santander. We wish the best luck to all the teams during the national selections and hope to meet you all next year in the land of coffee and biodiversity!
