European Tournament of Enthusiastic Apprentice Mathematicians
July 31 – August 6, 2026
Lausanne, Switzerland
Discover the world of mathematical research
The ETEAM is a team competition for high-school students. Its aim is to give them an initial insight into mathematical research.
Accompanied by a teacher or mathematician, the students have several months to research open mathematical problems, for which the authors do not necessarily have a definite solution.
After producing written contributions, the teams gather for a week to debate and discuss their solutions in front of a panel of mathematics researchers.
ETEAM 2026
This year’s tournament will be held from July 31th to August 6th at Lausanne, EPFL.
