Lebanon's first science olympiad program.

About

The Lebanese Association for Science Olympiads (LASO) is a registered Lebanese association. We organise Lebanon's national science olympiads, select and train the national teams, represent Lebanon at the international olympiads, and run the free study platform students use between competitions.

Goals

Annual national olympiads

Run a national olympiad in each science every year, open to every middle and high school student in Lebanon, with a supervised qualifying round in centres across the country, a national final, and selection camps.

International participation

Send Lebanese teams to the international olympiads, starting with the IMO in Hungary in 2027, followed by the IPhO, IOI, and IOAI, and later the IChO and IBO.

Year-round training

Provide a free platform with a structured syllabus, practice problems, past papers, and a forum, together with training camps and coaching from university mathematicians and former competitors.

Coaches and problem setters

Build a network of teachers, university faculty, and alumni who write problems, coach students, and grade papers. Membership is open to anyone who wants to help.

Access for every student

Keep the program free for students, available in Arabic, French, and English, with exam centres in every region of the country.

University preparation

Help students build the knowledge, discipline, and record that competitive undergraduate programs require, and bring them back later as coaches.
