VIII International Astronomy Olympiad
Stockholm, Sweden, October 2/3 - 8, 2003.

Brief information about results

The VIII^th International Astronomy Olympiad was organized on October 2/3 - 8, 2003 in Stockholm, Sweden at the Stockholm Observatory and Saltsjöbadens Samskola.

The main organizer of the Olympiad was the Swedish section of the European Association for Astronomy Education; Saltsjöbadens Samskola, Stockholm Observatory and the Swedish National Space Board with a coordination of the Olympic Coordination Council of the EAAS.

Due to lack of enough financial support the dates of the Olympiad have been moved from initially proposed September 22-29 to shorter period in October.

Autorized National Representative Astronomy Organizations (ANRAO) of the participating countries were authorized to form the teams of the Olympiad member-states.

There were 55 participants from 14 teams at the Olympiad:

All foreign teams participating in the Olympiad were be met by local organizers at the Stockholm's airport Arlanda (if arriving by air) or at the ferry terminals of Silja/Viking Line (if arriving by ferry - team of Russian Federation).

Problems were prepared by the Organizing Committee in these two languages and the the team leaders were responsible to translate tasks to native languages of participants just before the rounds (three hours before). Cultural programme of the Olympiad was mostly in English.

The place of lodging for the teams was Vandrarhem Zinkensdamm (a hostel at a central location in Stockholm, close to the Metro station Zinkensdamm, see red line at the Metro map of Stockholm).
