Partnering to Advance Mathematical Modeling Worldwide

The International Mathematical Modeling Challenge (IM²C) brings together talented secondary school students from around the world to tackle complex real-world challenges through mathematics, data analysis, and collaborative problem solving.

With support from sponsors, educational institutions, and partner organizations, IM²C provides opportunities for students to develop the skills needed to become future leaders in STEM, research, technology, business, and public policy.

Together, we are helping to advance mathematical modeling education on a global scale.

Why Support IM²C?

IM²C is more than a competition. It is an international educational initiative designed to promote mathematical modeling, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and evidence-based decision making.

By supporting IM²C, sponsors and partners help:

Expand access to mathematical modeling opportunities
Support student participation worldwide
Encourage innovation and interdisciplinary thinking
Strengthen STEM education
Develop future leaders and problem solvers
Foster international collaboration and cultural exchange

Support for IM²C directly contributes to educational experiences that prepare students for an increasingly complex and data-driven world.
