Announcing the new introductory seminar for the SYPT 2026! It will be held in the afternoon of Friday, September 12 and is open to all students and teachers who want to take part in the SYPT.
Join us online or in person at ETH Zurich to learn about the SYPT first hand and get some insights into 17 problems which are posed for the year 2026.
If you’re interested, just fill out the pre-registration and we’ll keep you updated about the event.
The 18th SYPT 2026 will be held on Saturday, March 7 and Sunday, March 8.
The location is to be determined. Problems for the SYPT 2026 will be published in July.
If you are potentially interested in taking part as a participant, teacher or helper, you can already fill out our new pre-registration to get important updates about the SYPT. That way we can also keep you updated about the International Young Physicists' Tournament 2026, which will take place here in Switzerland.
The SYPT 2025 was held at ETH Zurich. After three rounds of Physics Fights, the team "Absolutely Zero Clue" consisting of Harald Martinussen from Zürich and Rachel Silveira Camargo from Zug emerged victorious. Second came Szymon Domalewski and Mathis Banerjee, also known as the "Principle of Most Action", followed by Ahmad Zulfikar and Csongor Muszely from the team "Under Pressure".
Congratulations to all participants for a great tournament!
