A foundation of talent

Vietnam — a powerhouse in competitive mathematics

Vietnam consistently ranks in the global top 10 at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) and stands 8th on the all-time table — a deep pool of mathematical talent that VFAM exists to carry forward into research.

Top 10at the IMO worldwide, year after year
8thon the all-time IMO medal table
277IMO medals — 71 Gold · 120 Silver · 86 Bronze
~94%of Vietnamese IMO contestants win a medal

Across 50+ years of competing, Vietnam has placed 3rd in the world three times (1999, 2007 and 2017). VFAM was founded to support that talent base and turn it into lasting, high-impact scientific research.
