The International Mathematics Competition for University Students has been held annually since 1994. This year, 77 universities and over 400 students from all over the world took part. The team from the University of Bonn, consisting of Lennart Christian Grabbel, Henrik Jasper Schlüter, Boldizsár Mann, Juri Kaganskiy, Samuel Meyer, Cedric Friedrich and Olesia Gaiduk, supervised by Bonn team leaders Yuliya Kryvitskaya and Jiani Shen, also achieved outstanding results in the individual rankings: Lennart Christian Grabbel received a coveted Grand Grand First Prize and was the second-best participant in the field overall. Boldizsár Mann, Henrik Jasper Schlüter and Juri Kaganskiy were also among the top 20 students worldwide, and the other participants from Bonn were also awarded prizes.
Almost every year, the team of math students from Bonn is among the top five teams at the IMC in Blagoevgrad. In recent years, many of its current members have represented Germany at the annual International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) for school students and then decided to study mathematics in Bonn. The Bonn team is supported by the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics (HCM). At the HCM, excellent support for young talent at all career levels - from early support for children in the Bonn Math Club to the Hausdorff School for doctoral students and postdocs to the Bonn Junior Fellows - is of high priority.
