Students from the Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering won bronze medals in the individual and team competitions at the Bukhara International Mathematics Olympiad 2026 (BIMO-2026), which was held from 25 to 28 January at Bukhara State University (Republic of Uzbekistan).
Approximately 500 students from leading universities in neighboring and far-abroad countries participated in the Olympiad. Participating countries included China, India, Pakistan, Jordan, Uzbekistan, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan. The Russian Federation was represented by three universities: Lomonosov Moscow State University, Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, and Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering.
SPbGASU was represented at the Olympiad by a team of students from the Faculty of Civil Engineering, led by Acting Head of the Department of Mathematics Larisa Grambovskaya.
Based on the results of the individual competition, a bronze medal was awarded to student of group 18-Sb(PGS)-1 Egor Filimonov.
In the team stage, the bronze cup was won by the SPbGASU team consisting of:
- Egor Filimonov (group 18-Sb(PGS)-1);
- Polina Kuznetsova (group TBb-1);
- Polina Bykova (group 9-Sb(PGS)-1);
- Evgenia Sofronova (group 18-Sb(PGS)-1).
The Olympiad participants highly praised the organization of the event and the warm welcome provided by Bukhara State University. As part of the cultural program, the students explored the historical sites of ancient Bukhara, a city with over 2,500 years of history.
Beyond the competition, the Olympiad became an important platform for international networking. SPbGASU students actively interacted with participants from other countries and established friendly contacts with the volunteers who accompanied the teams.
Participation in such events helps strengthen international ties, expand students' professional and cultural horizons, and enhance the prestige of SPbGASU and the Russian Federation in the international educational arena.
