High school students from all over the world will have the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and capacities in informatics during the 16th International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), which will take place on 11-18 September 2004, in Athens. The Olympiad is organized within the framework of the Cultural Olympiad, under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of National Education and Religious Affairs.

The IOI aims to encourage and give recognition to young students who are the most talented in informatics, foster cooperation among scientists and informatics professors, and promote the organisation of high-school computer programming competitions.

The International Olympiad in Informatics, an initiative of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), is one of six academic Olympiads for high school students throughout the world (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy).
