Dear participants and national team leaders, We would like to inform you that this year’s International Science Physics Olympiad (ISPhO) will be held exclusively online from June 21 to June 30, 2026. This decision was made in order to ensure as wide and safe access to participation for school students from different countries as possible, given the high probability of unforeseen logistical difficulties due to the current global situation. This year, we believe it is particularly important to focus on the following: - maintaining the tradition of international cooperation in the natural sciences; - providing equal opportunities for talented school students regardless of their location; - ensuring a high standard of organization and objectivity in the evaluation of results. - creating a comfortable environment for you to demonstrate your knowledge and skills in physics. The Olympiad will retain all its key elements: theoretical and experimental rounds, a unified scoring system, and awards for the winners. The online experimental round will be entirely devoted to computer modeling and data processing. Participants will be provided with software that simulates the operation of scientific equipment. Since the competition will be held exclusively online, participation is completely free of charge. We invite teams from all countries to join ISPhO and show their skills in this international intellectual competition! We ask the heads of national physics teams to send an email to ispho@phystech.edu to receive further instructions. Stay tuned for updates on our channel! Sincerely, The ISPhO Organizing Committee
