Physics & Chemistry Olympiads 2026
C’est avec une grande joie, et une fierté toujours renouvelée, que nous vous annonçons les résultats de nos élèves aux Olympiades scientifiques cette année:
In Year 7, we have two finalists:
- Yann Barr (physics & chemistry)
- Alexander Dobrucki (physics)
This marks the fourth consecutive year that two EEB2 pupils have reached the final in physics, which is a testament to the remarkable consistency in the excellence of our pupils and our teaching.
Yann’s performance deserves a special mention: he is a finalist in two subjects, physics and chemistry... a first in the history of EEB2! As the two finals were taking place simultaneously, he had to withdraw from one of the two rounds, but this in no way detracts from the exceptional achievement he has accomplished.
In S6, we are also delighted to announce that Varga Eliza (chemistry) has qualified for the second consecutive year, meaning she will automatically qualify for next year’s semi-final.
We are extremely proud of our students. Their commitment, scientific curiosity and perseverance demonstrate the remarkable standard of our classes and the quality of the work carried out collectively at EEB2. Having several finalists is already rare; to have them year after year, and with such performances, is a clear sign of the excellence we cultivate together.
The next step is the additional training course at the ULB, which will take place from 20 to 24 April.
At the end of the course, on Friday 24 April, a final round will determine which students will represent Belgium at the following international competitions:
- European Physics Olympiad (EuPhO): from 12 to 16 June, in Gothenburg (Sweden)
- International Physics Olympiad (IPhO): from 4 to 12 July, in Bucaramanga (Colombia)
- International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO): from 10 to 19 July, in Tashkent (Uzbekistan)
The official announcement of the results will take place on 27 May.
We wish our three candidates every success in the stages to come. Their achievements so far are already impressive, and we are confident that they will continue to excel.
We would also like to thank all the teachers who are supporting our pupils at every level during these Olympiads, particularly Mr Drulhe and Mr Daudon!
