The Al-Khorezmi International Mathematical Olympiad (AKHIMO) is a mathematics competition for undergraduate students. Its mission is to enhance intellectual potential and inspire students to pursue STEM education. AKHIMO aims to identify and nurture students' creative talents and research interests while fostering an international network and intercultural relationships among participants from various countries. Additionally, it celebrates the significant contributions of Muhammad Al-Khorezmi to fundamental sciences. The primary goal of AKHIMO is to motivate students to engage deeply with the exact sciences and broaden their international collaborations, all while exploring the scientific heritage of Central Asia, particularly Uzbekistan. The inaugural AKHIMO took place at Urgench State University from October 26-31, 2018, featuring teams from 58 universities, including 35 institutions from 20 countries. The second Olympiad was held at Karakalpak State University from October 23-29, 2023, with participation from 40 universities across 14 countries. The third AKHIMO is scheduled for May 26-31, 2025, at Urgench State University, where we expect to host 100 teams from approximately 50 countries. Although AKHIMO is primarily an individual competition, there is also a team component. The official language of AKHIMO is English.
