Organized by the University of Silesia, Katowice, and the Uppersilesian Branch of the Polish Mathematical Society, the ISTCiM-2023 has been a focal point for global mathematical excellence since its initiation in 2019. The competition, welcoming students at any stage of their studies—bachelor’s, master’s, and postgraduate—aims to foster a love for mathematics. Comprising an individual and team segment, participants grappled with a challenging array of problems covering Mathematical analysis, Functional and differential equations, Linear and abstract algebra, Combinatorics, Geometry and Probability theory.

English served as the official language for the competition, gathering about 100 students from diverse nations, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Poland, and Turkmenistan.
