The International Astronomy and Astrophysics Competition (IAAC) is a global science competition that invites students from all backgrounds to engage with astronomy through challenging, research-based problem formats. Designed to be fully accessible online, IAAC allows participants to join independently, regardless of location or school affiliation. The competition consists of multiple rounds, including tasks based on real scientific papers, and adjusts difficulty levels to appeal to both newcomers and advanced students. Supported by a global network of ambassadors, educators, and alumni, IAAC fosters international collaboration and academic growth while promoting science literacy.

The International Youth Math Challenge (IYMC) is a global mathematics competition that empowers students to explore creative problem-solving beyond the classroom. Designed to be inclusive and fully online, IYMC offers a progressive series of rounds, starting with approachable puzzles and advancing to research-based challenges. Participants apply mathematical reasoning across diverse topics, build confidence through independent work, and gain recognition through certificates, prizes, and a vibrant international network. Since its founding, IYMC has grown into one of the most accessible and intellectually stimulating math competitions, connecting students from over 120 countries.

The International Computer Science Competition (ICSC) is a global initiative that challenges students to apply their logic, creativity, and coding skills through a multi-stage competition grounded in real-world problems. Designed for middle school, high school and university students, ICSC blends algorithmic thinking with research-based problem solving. Participants are assessed on conceptual and programming problems, with emphasis on understanding and explaining their reasoning. The competition structure fosters critical thinking and exposure to foundational and advanced computer science topics.

The International Linguistics Challenge (ILC) is an educational program dedicated to a usually underexplored yet highly exciting field: linguistics, the scientific study of language. Linguistics has more in common with mathematics and the natural sciences than one might think, relying heavily on logical thinking, problem-solving, and pattern recognition. The ILC encourages participants to sharpen their analytical skills and discover patterns in human communication through linguistic problem-solving, ranging from syntax to semantics and pragmatics.
