History of the IYPT

The history of IYPT dates back to 1988 but in the beginning the event was always organized inside the Soviet Union or, from 1992, in Russia. However, already from the year 1979 there was a precursor organized at Moscow State University for upper secondary school students from the Moscow region. In 1994, for the first time, the competition was arranged in a different country, namely The Netherlands. Since then fourteen countries have organized IYPT. In the last few years the number of countries participating has varied between 21 and 26. In 2004, for the 17th IYPT, Brisbane, Australia, was the host for 26 teams from 24 countries, representing six continents; in 2005 Winterthur, Switzerland and in 2006 Bratislava, Slovakia hosted the IYPT event. In 2007 the 20th IYPT was hosted by Seoul, South Korea and in 2008 the competition was organized in Trogir in Croatia. In 2009 the event was hosted by China in TianJin and the latest IYPT event was hosted by Austria in Vienna. Iran will be the next host, in 2011.
