GPT 2023:
Online Round (First round of the GPT 2023 on January 14th, 2023)
The first round of the GPT 2023 was online on January 14th, 2023 and the best teams qualified for the in person round of the GPT that probably will be in Erlangen (see below). The results can be found at the bottom of this page.
The problems for the IPT 2023 were used: iptnet.info/problems
Teams of three to six students are welcome to participate. Single students can also take part and will be assigned to a team by us. To participate, it is sufficient to work on and prepare ideas for one problem per team member. There is no registration fee.
The general principles of the GPT and IPT can be found here. Some additional rules for the GPT are given here. In the online competition probably only the roles of reporter and opponent will be used (i.e., there will be no reviewer).
In person round of the GPT 2023 (probably in Erlangen on March 18th and March 19th, 2023)
The successful participants of the online round of the GPT 2023 qualify for the in person round of the GPT 2023 that takes place March 2023 (in Erlangen on March 18th and March 19th, 2023). More information here.
The rules will be similar as for the online competition, except that two problems per team member have to be prepared.
