Join the MEMO22 team!

This August, the Middle European Mathematical Olympiad will be held in Bern. High-school students from ten different countries will participate and compete against each other in numerous exams. Additionally, they will partake in various extracurricular activities and get to know Bern and Switzerland better. In order to carry out such an event, the help of volunteers is essential. That is why we need you.
