If you require further assistance on visa matters, please use the ICA visa enquiry form.
Team leaders
Each team must be accompanied by a team leader who is not a contestant. The team leader must be a legal adult (in both the team’s country and the host country) on the first day of the start of the IOAI. The team leader ensures the well-being and proper conduct of their students throughout the entire duration of the event, and serves as an intermediary between their team, the organisers, and other participating teams. Typically and unless otherwise communicated in advance, the team leader represents the country at the General Assembly.
Team selection
Contestants must be 20 years old or younger on 1 July of the year of the IOAI edition in which they are participating. Contestants must have been normally enrolled in full-time primary or secondary education on or after 1 December in the year prior to the IOAI, or, in the case of home-schooled students, must not have received a high-school diploma (or equivalent), and must be working toward such a credential on 1 December of the year prior to IOAI. Contestants should be selected based on their performance in country-wide competitions in artificial intelligence, informatics, mathematics, linguistics, or a related field. These competitions must be organized by the recognized national body (the accredited organization) and open to all residents of the country who are receiving their education there.
