Welcome

Many people in Chemnitz are looking forward to 2025 - when their home city will be the European Capital of Culture. Numerous ideas for projects are currently maturing in order to prepare an attractive programme. As a result, expectations are rising as to how the city of Chemnitz will present itself to domestic and foreign guests in both familiar and as yet unseen ways.

From 25.08.2025 to 30.08.2025, 66 young people from eleven Central European countries will come to Chemnitz. They will meet for the 19th Central European Mathematical Olympiad. As they are among the best mathematical talents in their countries, they will demonstrate their individual individual competition to show their individual creativity in solving mathematical problems and demonstrate their team spirit in a team competition. With the cultural asset maths, they and the people accompanying them will not only contribute something to the to the Capital of Culture, but will also use their stay to promote the city and the the Erzgebirge mining region with its culture, economy and science.

Math Olympiads are a familiar activity in Chemnitz. The days in May 2019, when the national round of the 58th Mathematical Olympiad took place here, are unforgettable as the secret “capital of mathematics” (www.mo2019.de). Every year, hundreds of pupils compete for points and placings in regional and state rounds in Chemnitz. However, the international atmosphere in such a competition will be new for Chemnitz. After 2014 in Dresden, this high-calibre competition will be held in Germany for only the second time. Chemnitz University of Technology (TUC) is the organiser and host of the competition (see Program) and is supported by “Friends and Supporters”. The local organisers from the Faculty of Mathematics at Chemnitz University of Technology, the Chemnitz City Council, the State Office for Schools and Education and the Johannes Kepler Gymnasium Chemnitz are looking forward to the event!
