On Friday 14 March 2025, Erasmus School of Economics is proud to host the prestigious Dutch Mathematical Olympiad, a competition that brings together the brightest young mathematical minds from across the Netherlands.
Under the guidance of Twan Dollevoet, Associate Professor at the Econometric Institute, the Dutch Mathematical Olympiad will challenge secondary school students to apply their problem-solving skills in an engaging and competitive environment. This year's event will be further enriched by the presence of two dedicated student ambassadors: Julia op den Akker and Luuk Omvlee. Both ambassadors will be on hand to support and encourage the participants, sharing their own experiences in mathematics and inspiring the next generation of problem-solvers.
Providing a stimulating and welcoming venue for young talents
The Dutch Mathematical Olympiad is a well-established initiative aimed at fostering mathematical talent among high school students. The competition consists of multiple rounds, with top-performing students earning a chance to represent the Netherlands in international mathematical competitions.
Erasmus School of Economics is honoured to contribute to this tradition by providing a stimulating and welcoming venue for young talents to thrive.
‘We are delighted to host the Dutch Mathematical Olympiad at Erasmus School of Economics’, says Dr Twan Dollevoet. ‘It is an excellent opportunity to engage with talented students and showcase the importance of mathematics in solving real-world challenges.’
The commitment Erasmus School of Economics to mathematics education and its role in solving complex economic and business challenges is evident through its continued support of initiatives like the Dutch Mathematical Olympiad. By inspiring young students and providing them with the tools to excel, the School aims to cultivate the next generation of analytical thinkers.
