RIYADH — The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, represented by King Abdulaziz and his Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity (MAWHIBA), will participate, for the second time in a row, in the 4th European Physics Olympiad (EuPhO 2020).

The EuPhO 2020, to be virtually held this year in Romania, from July 19-26, will see the participation of 250 students representing 57 countries. Five students will form the Saudi team, and are taking part in the EuPhO 2020 competitions.

The Academic Committee has decided that this year, instead of real experiments there will be simulated experiments.

Each contestant needs to have a computer (running Windows, OSX or Linux), but no other tools will be required (they will need to have graph papers, a ruler and a calculator).

The Kingdom has won gold and bronze medals, in its first participation in the European Physics Olympiad 2019, held in the Republic of Latvia. — SPA
