With the support of BTU and UN Women, the national girls’ team is heading to the European Olympiad in Informatics.
The 6th European Girls’ Olympiad in Informatics (EGOI 2025) will be held in Germany from July 14 to 20, 2025, where Georgia will participate for the fourth time. Four school students will represent Georgia at the Olympiad.
The national girls’ team will travel to Germany with the support of Business and Technology University (BTU) and UN Women Georgia.
EGOI is one of the most prestigious and large-scale international Olympiads in informatics. Its goal is to provide talented girls under the age of 20 who are interested in technology with opportunities to share experiences across Europe, engage in international competition, and access a platform for career development.
Georgia has participated in EGOI since 2022 and has already won 2 gold, 4 silver, and 2 bronze medals. This year’s team includes:
-
Giorgi Mandaria – PhD, Professor, team leader.
-
Nino Chkhaidze – Former three-time member of the national girls’ team, EGOI bronze medalist (2022) and two-time silver medalist (2023–2024), team co-leader.
-
Gvantsa Khvedelidze – 11th-grade student at Vladimir Komarov Tbilisi Physics and Mathematics Public School No. 199, EGOI bronze medalist (2023), Information Technology Center “Mziuri”.
-
Mariam Piphia – 11th-grade student at the Georgian-American High School, Information Technology Center “Mziuri”.
-
Mariam Tsagareli – 9th-grade student at Vladimir Komarov Tbilisi Physics and Mathematics Public School No. 199, Information Technology Center “Mziuri”.
-
Lizi Pavliashvili – 8th-grade student at Vladimir Komarov Tbilisi Physics and Mathematics Public School No. 199, Information Technology Center “Mziuri”.
The team is led by Giorgi Mandaria (PhD) and Nino Chkhaidze, a multiple medalist of European Olympiads.
Participation in the Olympiad not only showcases Georgia’s intellectual potential on the international stage but also promotes greater involvement of girls in information technology — a field where gender balance remains a significant challenge.
The support for Georgia’s national girls’ team in informatics is part of UN Women’s regional program for Eastern Europe and Central Asia, “Enhancing Women’s Leadership for Sustainable and Peaceful Societies”, funded by the Government of Denmark.
