The Australian government has announced that it will provide funding to IOI 2013 from the Australian Maths and Science Partnership Program. The program is designed to improve student engagement in maths and science through partnerships between universities, schools, and other relevant organisations.
IOI 2013 is delighted to have the Australian government on board as a major sponsor. The government also provides funding for the annual national informatics and mathematics competitions run by the Australian Mathematics Trust to select the teams competing in the IOI and IMO.
