Enterprise Greece supports the 22nd Junior Balkan Mathematical Olympiad, organized in Rhodes by the Hellenic Mathematical Society

Enterprise Greece, the state trade and investment promotion agency, has pledged its support to the Hellenic Mathematical Society to organize the 22nd Junior Balkan Mathematical Olympiad taking place 19-24 June 2018 in Rhodes.

As part of its ongoing efforts to expand and improve its services to the Greek community, Enterprise Greece has adopted a new program for corporate social responsibility, which the agency believes is not only good business practice, but also its obligation towards the community. As part of its new CSR program, Enterprise Greece will develop partnerships with institutional and civic bodies, to jointly promote sustainable development policies with broad social benefits for all.

In inaugurating this important program, Enterprise Greece joins forces with the Hellenic Mathematical Society in organizing one of the top events in the field of education: the 22nd Junior Balkan Mathematical Olympiad. The Olympiad is expected to involve teams from 11 Southeast European countries, but also from other European countries and from Asia. This event is a first class opportunity to evaluate students for the International Mathematical Olympiad.
