An Established International Mathematical Modeling Competition
For more than a decade, IM²C has connected students, educators, and academic leaders through a shared commitment to mathematical modeling and interdisciplinary thinking. Since launching in 2014 with 10 countries/regions and 17 teams, IM²C has grown into a global competition spanning 54 countries and regions worldwide.
Today, IM²C brings together some of the world’s most talented young modelers, providing an international stage where innovation, collaboration, and mathematical thinking are recognized and celebrated.
The Mathematical Modeling Challenge
IM²C challenges student teams to apply mathematics to authentic real-world problems. Participants work collaboratively to research unfamiliar topics, develop mathematical models, analyze data, and communicate their findings through written reports and presentations.
International Summit
IM²C culminates in an International Summit and Awards Ceremony that brings together students, educators, organizers, and guests from around the world. Finalist teams have the opportunity to share their work, celebrate achievement, and connect with peers who share a passion for mathematical modeling.
Global Reach
Mathematical modeling is a global language, and IM²C brings together students from around the world to tackle shared challenges through regional competitions and international finals. With regional organizers spanning 54 countries and regions, IM²C fosters a truly international community of young mathematical modelers.
Founding Organizations
IM²C is organized through a partnership between COMAP (the Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications) and NeoUnion ESC Organization. Together with regional organizers, educational institutions, and partners around the world, these organizations help guide the competition’s continued growth and international impact.
Sponsors & Partners
IM²C is made possible through the support of sponsors, educational institutions, and partner organizations that share a commitment to developing the next generation of problem solvers. Together, these partnerships help expand access to mathematical modeling opportunities for students around the world.
