Synopsys is organizing its 8^th International Olympiad that will be held in Armenia in October 2013. This year we would like to include 3 candidates from Latin America. For that reason we are going to conduct a classification test in May 2013 and the 3 best ratings will have the honor to represent our continent in Armenia. All travel and lodging related expenses to participate in Armenia will be covered by Synopsys.

Please let me know if you are interested to conduct the classification test in your university to start organizing the event. I’m attaching a poster of the Olympiad as well as a document that includes all the questions that have been done in the 7 precedent versions. The precedent version book can be also find at

This is an excellent opportunity for our students that will test their knowledge in Microelectronics and will have the opportunity to win interesting rewards.
