For any questions, contact Shahin Jafarzadeh, Norwegian team coordinator.
The tasks are sent out approx. one week in advance.
Round 2:
Wednesday, February 12th, 2020.

- "Syllabus" is Physics 1 plus mechanics from Physics 2. The answers are directed by the Physics Olympiad Committee.
Schools that have major problems holding the exam on that day are asked to contact the Shahin Jafarzadeh to agree on another date.
Course and Norwegian finals:
Week 13 (March 23rd - 27th, 2020)
The top 16 candidates from the second round will be offered a one-week course at the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, University of Oslo. The stay will conclude with a final Norwegian competition where only five candidates will be selected to participate to the international finals.
Cancelled! Based on the guidelines of the health authorities and of the University of Oslo (UiO) for infection protection, all the science olympiads, that were going to organise courses and the final exam at UiO this spring (i.e., the Chemistry, Astronomy, Biology, and Physics Olympiads), have decided to cancel the course.
International finals:
To be held in August of 2020 in Bogotá, Colombia.
