According to the University of Havana, in addition to Cuba, teams from Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, and Portugal won gold medals.
The institution of higher education itself indicated on its social networks that the event “contributes to the search for academic excellence in mathematics at the university level.
It is also done to promote creative thinking and research.
The Ibero-American University Mathematics Olympiad aims to “recognize and propose to the university community in the Ibero-American countries goals consistent with the search for academic excellence in mathematics at the university level.”
It is also presented as a space to develop the research and creative thinking of university students from Ibero-American countries within the framework of their mathematical studies.
