National Olympiad Programmes

National Olympiad Programmes

BiOGuide publishes two kinds of country guide, and we keep them clearly apart.

Firsthand guides are written by people who went through the programme in their own country. They describe what it was really like, which is why they are the best kind and why they are purple on our maps.

Official outlines are explanations of the official picture: how the programme is structured, who runs it, where the official pages are, and tips from BiOGuide. They are not written by a national author, every one carries a notice saying so, and they are green on our maps. We publish them so that students in more countries have a starting point, and we replace each one with a firsthand guide as soon as an author comes forward.

You can also browse every country on the world map and directory.

Are you from a country with only an outline, or with no guide at all? See how to write one and what to send us, or email us directly. We would love to have your perspective.
