We are proud to present BIO 2023.
The 2023 British Informatics Olympiad

BIO 2023 will take place December 2022 - January 2023 and March/April 2023. The competition is open to all students in full-time pre-university education in mainland Britain, and involves solving problems against the clock, using nothing more than pen, paper and a computer.

The BIO consists of three stages. The first is a 3-hour test, the British Informatics Olympiad, which takes place in schools during December and January. This involves solving a range of problems using a computer. The second stage is the final, which will be held in Cambridge in March/April 2023. The top four finalists will make up the team to travel to the 2023 International Olympiad in Informatics, hosted by Hungary.

As well as the possibility of winning a medal the team will enjoy VIP treatment and get to socialise with contestants from 90 different countries that will take part.
