The Asian Physics Olympiad (APhO) is an annual physics competition for high school students from Asia and Oceania regions. It is one of the International Science Olympiads and is also the only regional competition in physics to date. The first APhO was hosted by Indonesia in 2000. The next APhO () will held in Hong Kong, China. APhO has its origins in the International Physics Olympiad and is conducted according to similar statutes (One five-hour theoretical examination and one or two laboratory examinations). It is usually held about two months before the IPhO and can also be seen as additional training for the teams.〔(APhO history )〕 Each national delegation is made up of eight competitors (unlike five in the IPhO) plus two leaders. Observers may also accompany a national team. The leaders are involved in preparation of the exam papers, translation and marking. The students compete as individuals, and must sit through intensive theoretical and laboratory examinations. For their efforts the students can be awarded gold, silver or bronze medal or an honorable mention. == History == In 1999, the team leader of Indonesia, Prof. Yohanes Surya, Ph.D., together with the president of IPhO, Prof.Waldemar Gorzkowski, undertook to create and organize the first APhO in Indonesia in April 24 - May 2, 2000. At this time, prof. Gorzkowski was also working in Indonesia to help with the IPhO team. The event attracted participants from 12 Asian countries. Actively participating countries include Australia, Cambodia,〔(APhO 12 participants )〕 China, China Hong Kong SAR, India, Indonesia, Israel, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Thailand and Vietnam. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Asian Physics Olympiad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
