Welcome

Welcome to the 19th Middle European Mathematical Olympiad in Chemnitz!

From August 25 to 30, 2025, Chemnitz will welcome 66 young participants from eleven Central European countries to the 19th Middle European Mathematical Olympiad (MEMO). As some of the most talented young mathematicians in their countries, they will demonstrate their creativity in an individual competition and showcase their teamwork in a team contest.

Mathematics, as a cultural asset that connects people beyond borders, brings added value to Chemnitz as a European Capital of Culture. The participants and their accompanying guests will use their stay not only to engage with mathematics, but also to explore the city and the Erzgebirge mountain region, with its rich traditions in culture, economy, and science.

Chemnitz has a strong tradition of mathematics competitions. In May 2019, the city hosted the national final of the 58th German Mathematical Olympiad (www.mo2019.de). Every year, hundreds of students take part in regional and state rounds here. What makes MEMO special is its international character – something new and exciting for Chemnitz.

After Dresden in 2014, this high-level competition is being held in Germany for only the second time. The local organizing team includes the Chemnitz Mathematics Association (Förderverein für Mathematik zu Chemnitz e.V.), the City of Chemnitz, the Saxon State Office for Schools and Education, and the Johannes Kepler Gymnasium Chemnitz supported by many partners and sponsors. The math part of the contest will be at the Faculty of Mathematics at TUC.
