The Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science team representing VNUHCM-麻豆传媒 competes at the AKHIMO 2025 International Mathematics Olympiad in Uzbekistan.
In a promising first participation at the Al-Khorezmi International Mathematical Olympiad (AKHIMO) 2025鈥攁 global mathematics competition for undergraduate students鈥攁 team from the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, VNUHCM-麻豆传媒 (HCMUS)聽recorded a noteworthy result, with a Bronze Medal awarded to Tr岷 Nguy峄卬 Nam H瓢ng.
First Participation at AKHIMO
Held from 26 to 31 May at Urgench State University in Uzbekistan, brought together nearly 250 undergraduate students from 57 leading global institutions, including Stanford University (USA), the University of Tokyo (Japan), Seoul National University (South Korea), and the 麻豆传媒 and Technology of China, among others.
The delegation from HCMUS consisted of Tr岷 Nguy峄卬 Nam H瓢ng, 膼峄 Ti峄乶 H岷, and Nguy峄卬 Xu芒n Ti岷縩, under the academic mentorship of Dr Nguy峄卬 H峄痷 Tr铆 Nh岷璽, lecturer at the . Following two days of rigorous competition, the organisers awarded 10 Gold Medals, 18 Silver Medals, and 27 Bronze Medals. Among the medalists, Tr岷 Nguy峄卬 Nam H瓢ng was the sole representative from HCMUS to receive a distinction.
Academic Advancement and International Engagement
Participation in AKHIMO 2025 aligns with the institutional strategy of enhancing academic quality and promoting international exposure for learners, as well as the initiative continues a longstanding tradition of global academic engagement fostered by HCMUS. Despite being the university鈥檚 first entry into AKHIMO, the outcome reflects a well-prepared approach and a strong academic orientation toward international integration.
The student team was meticulously selected and rigorously practised with academic guidance from faculty members in the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science. The objective extended beyond medal aspirations to equipping students with experience in international competition, nurturing logical reasoning skills, and developing independent research capabilities in mathematics and the fundamental sciences.
Outlook for Future Participation
Building on the achievement, the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science continues to expand advanced training programmes, enhance academic partnerships with overseas institutions, and prepare high-calibre teams for future editions of AKHIMO and other global academic competitions.
Encouraging student participation in international knowledge-based platforms is a key component of HCMUS鈥檚 sustainable development strategy, aimed at cultivating a scientifically grounded, globally competent, and socially contributive generation of graduates ready to lead in an increasingly interconnected world.
The Al-Khorezmi International Mathematical Olympiad (AKHIMO) is a prestigious competition for undergraduates with research inclinations in mathematics. Established in 2018 and hosted annually in Uzbekistan, the competition aims to foster mathematical potential, strengthen collaboration among global academic institutions, and encourage the pursuit of STEM and fundamental sciences. In addition to individual and team contests, AKHIMO features cultural exchange activities and visits to significant historical sites in Central Asia. These experiences enrich participants鈥 intercultural understanding and promote academic connectivity among international student communities.
