What Is International Mathematical Modeling Challenge?
IM²C is an international mathematical-modeling competition in which teams of up to four secondary-school students from the same school, supported by a faculty advisor, use mathematics to investigate an open-ended real-world problem and communicate their work in a formal paper. Countries and regions run selection processes and may forward no more than two papers to the international round.
For 2027, the international problem-solving window runs February 1–April 26. Each team works during its permitted five consecutive days. These window endpoints are programme dates, not a universal new-entry deadline. Secondary-school teams of one to four students enter through their country or region, whose registration and selection deadlines may be earlier; each organizer selects at most two teams for the international round. Regional fees and detailed rules need local confirmation.
