The International Young Physicists’ Tournament (IYPT) is a prestigious global science competition where high school students solve complex, open-ended physics problems and present their research in a format that simulates a scientific conference.
Often referred to as the "Physics World Cup," the IYPT emphasises collaboration, critical thinking, and scientific communication.
Teams from around the world engage in structured debates known as Physics Fights, where they present, oppose, and review each other's solutions, demonstrating deep understanding, creativity, and the ability to defend their work under scrutiny.
Sweden hosted IYPT 2026 in Lund, Sweden.
