International Astronomy and Astrophysics Competition (IAAC) 2026

Astronomy is an outstanding scientific subject that has inspired us, humans, for thousands of years: By looking into the sky and imagining the earth as a tiny boat in the depths of space, we feel connected and curious about all the planets, stars, and galaxies out there. The International Astronomy and Astrophysics Competition is an educational science competition that enables students from all countries to test their skills in astronomy and astrophysics. Participants can receive certificates, awards, cash prizes, and global recognition. 

The International Astronomy and Astrophysics Competition takes this fascination-sparking subject and gives students the opportunity to challenge their astronomy and astrophysics knowledge and to learn more about this exciting subject beyond what the typical school curriculum has to offer.

The International Astronomy and Astrophysics Competition aims to be accessible to all students from all countries regardless of their background, school, or institution. For that, the International Astronomy and Astrophysics Competition uses today's technologies and the global connection through the internet to make this competition possible: All you need is a pen, paper, and an internet connection to participate!
