The SYPT 2025 will be held at ETH Zürich on March 22nd & 23rd. Register now!
To prepare for the tournament, there will once again be the Physics Week at MNG Rämibühl in Zurich from February 10th to February 14th. We will be happy to offer experimental equipment as well as coaching and support for nine out of the 17 problems.
In order to help the students with their preparation, we organize the SYPT Online Coaching, where the participants can ask general questions about the SYPT or get help to get started with a specific problem. If you are a participant and interested, or if you would like to know more about the SYPT before signing up, please feel free to contact
The problems for the IYPT 2025 have been published on the official IYPT website. These will also be the problems posed for the SYPT 2025.
The Swiss team won their third silver medal at the 37th IYPT in Budapest, Hungary!

After not participating in the 2023 IYPT, we were very happy to see the Swiss team score 198.8 points, which earned them 7th place in the largest IYPT ever with 38 countries from all over the world participating. Congratulations to all!
For the first time, the Swiss team won the International Young Physicists’ Tournament (IYPT). In Timisoara, Romania, the team of Jan Kamm (Captain), Anja Christina Duevel, David Fankhauser, Chengjie Hu, and Joel Tan won the title of Physics world champion. The students were coached by Ophélie Rivière, Jakob Storp, Daniel Keller, Eric Schertenleib, and Michael Klein.
The SYPT 2024 was held on March 16th and March 17th at the physics department of the University of Basel. A total of 25 students participated in 9 teams and presented their solutions to 11 different problems.
The team Quantum Fluid consisting of Marc Schildknecht, Eric Kamm and Adrian Rothfritz won the tense final Physics fight with Adrian Rothfritz also winning in the individual ranking.
