International Biology Olympiad


The International Biology Olympiad is a science olympiad for high school students under the age of 20. The first academic international Olympiads after the International Mathematical Olympiad were launched under the auspices of the United Nations in the 1960s. The programs have gradually expanded to include more than 70 participating countries across five continents. The IBO is one of these olympiads. All participating countries send the four winners of their National Biology Olympiad to the IBO, usually accompanied by two adults who are members of the international jury for the duration of the competition.

Summary

Each year, the IBO is organised by a different country.
