VIII International Astronomy Olympiad
Stockholm, Sweden, October 2/3 - 8, 2003.
Brief information about results
The VIIIth 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:
Armenia,
Brazil,
Bulgaria,
China,
India,
Indonesia,
Iran,
Korea,
Lithuania,

and also observers from Ireland and Italy.
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).
