The Gate2Math Students’ International Competition (SIC) 2025 took place from February 25-27 in Porto, Portugal, bringing together talented students from various universities across Europe. The event served as a platform for fostering academic excellence, international collaboration, and innovative problem-solving in mathematics and related fields.

SIC 2025 featured three distinct phases, each designed to challenge participants in different ways. Students first competed in internationally mixed teams, encouraging cross-cultural collaboration and teamwork. They then faced challenges within their national groups, highlighting their collective strengths and strategies. Finally, the most skilled participants advanced to the individual competition, where they had the chance to showcase their mathematical expertise on a personal level.

Beyond the competition, SIC 2025 provided students with an enriching experience that extended beyond academics. The event kicked off with engaging ice-breaking activities, university presentations, and a guided cultural tour of Porto, giving students an opportunity to connect and explore the host city.

The competition concluded with an awards ceremony celebrating the outstanding achievements of participants. Prizes were awarded to the top-performing teams and individuals, recognizing their hard work, problem-solving abilities, and dedication to excellence. The SIC Global Individual Awards honored the best overall performers, with the top winners receiving prestigious accolades and financial prizes.

SIC 2025 reinforced the importance of international academic collaboration and provided students with invaluable experience in teamwork, critical thinking, and mathematical problem-solving. As Gate2Math continues to grow, future editions of SIC promise to be even more exciting, bringing together the brightest minds to challenge, innovate, and inspire.
