German Selection

Germany held their first national selection last month between the three universities of Goethe-Universität Frankfurt, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen and Universität Hamburg. They used a subset of nine of the problems used for the international finale in a competition with three physics fights.

In the end, the veteran team from Goethe-Universität Frankfurt received the highest total amount of points, and we hope to be seeing you in Sweden!

Swedish National Selection

Sweden have also held their first national selection last weekend. Teams from Chalmers University of Technology and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology competed on a subset of 8 problems. With interesting presentations from both teams it was a very close race which the team from KTH in the end taking the victory and the guaranteed place in the finals. As it is their first time to compete in IPT we are excited to see them in the finals this spring!

For the team from Chalmers the competition is not over however as Sweden, being the host country, can field two teams. Now they have to participate in the pre-selection to try to secure a spot in the finals. We wish them and everyone participating in the pre-selection good luck!
