Regarding the official results of the Vietnamese national team competing in the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) 2025, the Ministry of Education and Training said that the Vietnamese national team had 5 students competing, all of whom won medals, including 1 Gold Medal and 4 Silver Medals.
The Gold Medal belongs to Nguyen The Quan , a 12th grade student at Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted, Nghe An province;
Silver Medal Award belongs to: Ly Ba Khoi , 12th grade student, High School for the Gifted in Natural Sciences , University of Natural Sciences , Vietnam National University, Hanoi;
Truong Duc Dung , 12th grade student, High School for Gifted Students in Natural Sciences, University of Natural Sciences, Vietnam National University, Hanoi;
Nguyen Cong Vinh , 12th grade student, Bac Ninh High School for the Gifted, Bac Ninh province;
Tran Le Thien Nhan , 12th grade student, Quoc Hoc Hue High School for the Gifted, Hue city.
The Vietnamese delegation's achievements are among the top 10 countries and territories with the highest results at IPhO 2025. This achievement continues the series of impressive results that Vietnamese student delegations have achieved at international and regional Olympic events over the past many years.
According to the Ministry of Education and Training, the results of the Vietnamese team this year continue to affirm the quality of general education as well as the right direction in discovering, selecting and nurturing talented and excellent students.
The 55th International Physics Olympiad will be held in the French Republic from July 17, 2025 to July 25, 2025, with the participation of 94 delegations (including 5 observer delegations) from 94 countries and territories, and 406 contestants.
IPhO 2025 has 2 official exam days: One day for theory and one day for practical. Each theory and practical exam has a duration of 5 hours.
The theoretical and experimental exams demonstrate a subtle combination of modern physics and familiar practical phenomena - from the structure of hydrogen atoms to the structure of galaxies, from the oscillation of magnets to the formation of meteorite craters. The problem of the formation of bubbles in a glass of champagne not only has profound physics significance (related to pressure, acoustics, viscous friction, etc.) but is also a unique cultural highlight, bringing French culinary traditions into the IPhO exam.
The experimental test consisted of two problems, requiring integrated thinking and precise measurement skills; one involved “landing and moving safely, avoiding getting bogged down in sand dunes on the surface of Mars,” and the other used a Gouy balance to measure magnetic moments—a meaningful reference to French physicist Louis Georges Gouy, who made many contributions to the study of magnetism and optics, and paid tribute to France’s scientific heritage at an international competition held in his homeland.
The closing ceremony and announcement of the IPhO 2025 results will take place at 9:00 p.m. on July 24 and will be broadcast live on the official YouTube channel of IPhO 2025: https://www.youtube.com/@InternationalPhysicsOlympiad25.
