The Catalan Society of Mathematics (SCM) is already preparing a new edition of the Catalan Mathematical Olympiad (OMC), which will take place on 11 and 12 December 2026 in Barcelona, Lleida and Tarragona. Students interested in taking part can start preparing with the free sessions organised by various Catalan universities and check the latest news about registration through the SCM Community.<\/p>\n
The Catalan Mathematical Olympiad is the Catalan phase of the Mathematical Olympiad, organised by the Catalan Society of Mathematics.<\/p>\n
The competition offers students the opportunity to tackle problems that test reasoning, creativity and the ability to find and justify mathematical solutions.<\/p>\n
Participation is free and the tests take place simultaneously at different locations across Catalonia.<\/p>\n
The tests will take place in two sessions:<\/p>\n
Friday 11 December 2026, from 16.00 to 19.30.<\/p>\n
Saturday 12 December 2026, from 9.30 to 13.00.<\/p>\n
Participants will be able to take the tests at one of the three planned venues:<\/p>\n
Barcelona: Faculty of Mathematics and Statistics (FME) of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, at Carrer de Pau Gargallo, 14.<\/p>\n
Lleida: Edifici Polivalent, classroom 2.03, on the Cappont campus of the University of Lleida.<\/p>\n
Tarragona: Classroom 310 of the Catalunya campus of the Rovira i Virgili University, at Avinguda de Catalunya, 35.<\/p>\n
All updated information can be found on the official page of the Catalan Mathematical Olympiad<\/a>.<\/p>\n Participation in the Olympiad is free, but the SCM recommends attending orientation and preparation sessions to become familiar with the problems and develop solving strategies.<\/p>\n Several Catalan universities offer free activities, both in person and online, to help students deepen their mathematical reasoning.<\/p>\n Among the proposals announced for the 2026-2027 academic year are the Mathematical Problem Solving (RePMat) sessions of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), aimed at 4th-year ESO and baccalaureate students, which take place on Thursday afternoons until 17 December.<\/p>\n The University of Lleida also offers in-person preparation sessions on Wednesday afternoons, open to 4th-year ESO, baccalaureate and higher-level vocational training students, with no prior registration required.<\/p>\n The SCM preparation page also includes information on activities at the Rovira i Virgili University and other mathematical preparation initiatives. It is recommended to check the details of each proposal before attending.<\/p>\nFree sessions to prepare for the Olympiad<\/strong><\/h3>\n
