European Girls' Mathematical Olympiads - An announcement
Date: July 2016 / April 2017
The Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO) programme is a prestigious talent search and nurture programme sponsored by the Department
of Atomic Energy (DAE). It results in the selection of a team to represent India in an International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).
A very large number of talented and motivated students have been identified (during their pre-university stage) through the INMO programme during the last three
decades. Beginning with the year 2015, India has started participating in European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiads(EGMOes) as a special invitee.
Members of the academic community in Manipur may be aware of the fact that many brilliant and motivated academicians from Manipur who have specialised in mathematics as an area of teaching and research were identified through the INMO programme.
The list includes
Dr Jayanta Manohar Mayum (University of Sheffield, U.K.),
Dr Shanta Laishram (I.S.I, Delhi) and
Dr Aribam Chandrakant Sharma (IISER, Mohali)).
It is proposed to make a special effort to identify girl students from Manipur who would like to follow in the footsteps of these scholars.
Girls who are at present in Classes X and XI are eligible to appear for INMO-2016. If selected through the INMO screening process they will get two opportunities to represent India in International Olympiads, namely, in IMO-2016 to be held in Hong Kong in July 2016 and in EGMO-2017 to be held in Switzerland in April 2017.
