The Olympiad of Metropolises (IOM) is an international team competition which is held every year in Moscow at the initiative of the Mayor of Russia’s capital city. Contestants are students aged 14 to 18, who live in the biggest metropolises in the world. They are to show their knowledge of physics, chemistry, mathematics, and informatics.

IOM was first organized in 2016 with the participation of 22 teams from 18 countries. By 2019, it drew the participation of 45 cities from 32 countries. In 2020, due to the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, the competition was virtually held in many locations with the support of telecommunications technology.

Last year, the Vietnamese team obtained outstanding results in their first time competing in the Olympiad of Metropolises, with three golds, three silvers, and two bronzes.

Previously, on 28 September, all six Vietnamese students competing at International Mathematical Olympiad 2020 won medals including two gold, one silver, two bronze, and one Certificate of Merit. With these achievements, the Vietnamese team ranked 17th among 105 countries competing at the competition.
