Radioolympiad 2026

All-Ukrainian Olympiad of the RBECS Faculty
V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University in Physics “RadioOlympiad”

The Faculty of Radiophysics, Biomedical Electronics, and Computer Systems (RBECS) of V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University announces the All-Ukrainian Olympiad “RadioOlympiad”, aimed at popularizing various fields of modern radiophysics and related areas of science among Ukrainian school students.

The Olympiad is held remotely (online) using Google services (Google Forms, email) as well as the Zoom and YouTube platforms. Detailed participation rules are provided in the Regulations on holding the online event “RadioOlympiad”.

Ukrainian school students are invited to participate in the Olympiad, even if they are temporarily abroad:

students of grades 10–11, vocational college students, and other individuals taking the NMT in 2026 (senior group);
students of grades 7–9 (junior group).

Please note: students of higher education institutions are not allowed to participate in the RadioOlympiad.

Participation in the RadioOlympiad is free of charge. After completing the registration form, within 24 hours the participant receives an email confirming the registration, containing an individual number and a link to the Round 1 form (please also check “Spam”, “Promotions”, etc.). A participant is considered registered only after receiving the confirmation email. Registration after the deadline means participation “out of competition” (you may receive a participant diploma, but you are not eligible for prize places).

The Olympiad consists of two rounds with mandatory pre-registration and further communication mainly via email.
