During the last days the students took two exams, one experimental and one theoretical.

The problems were much more difficult than in high school.

The experimental part consisted in analyzing a porous membrane using both diffusion and optical methods, such as interference and birefringence. Then there were three different theoretical problems involving mechanics, magnetism and concepts from calculus of variation.

You can find the problems here

After the exams the participants can discuss their solutions with the official markers, so that in the end they get all the points they deserve.

The results and the ranking are available here
