Russia will once again host the PROD International Industrial Development Olympiad.
Registration for the PROD International Industrial Development Olympiad is open in Russia. School students in grades 8-11 from different countries are invited to participate. The competition will be held in Russian and English.
The organizers are the educational platform of T-Bank T-Education and the Central University together with the Faculty of Computer Science of the Higher School of Economics of the National Research University. In 2026, PROD was included in the list of Olympiads of the Russian Ministry of Education.
To participate, students will need basic knowledge of computer science and logical thinking skills. During the Olympics, they will have to solve applied IT problems and develop their own software products in teams.
As noted by the Chief Technical Officer and Vice President of T-Bank Igor Maslov, the Olympiad allows school students to get to know the practical development of IT products and receive feedback from industry experts even before entering the university.
Last year, the Olympics received more than 12,000 applications from 64 countries. 68 schoolchildren from 29 cities in Russia and Belarus became winners and prize winners.
Winners and runners-up will be able to receive additional points upon admission to certain educational programs of the Higher School of Economics of the National Research University and other Russian universities, apply for grants of up to 90% of tuition fees at the Central University, as well as pass a simple selection for an internship at T-Bank. Registration will continue until December 1, 2026.
