ACS Athens Academy student, and Academic Scholarship recipient, Vassilis Krassas has recently won a national Physics competition and is on the Greek team representing Greece in the International Young Physicists Tournament.

As a member of this team, organized by the Greek Physicists' Union (Ένωση Ελλήνων Φυσικών), and led by Mr. Apostolos Michaloudis, Vassilis worked with a number of people and will be part of a team of five to represent Greece in the IYPT on a list of problems that the team was asked to investigate and create presentations on.

The 34th International Young Physicists Tournament will be held in Kutaisi, Georgia, from July 7th till July 14th. 

The International Young Physicists’ Tournament (IYPT), sometimes referred to as the “Physics World Cup,” is a scientific competition between teams of secondary school students. 

It mimics, as close as possible, the real-world scientific research and the process of presenting and defending the results obtained.
