Three years ago, the Olympiad took its first tentative steps toward internationalization, with the participation of students from Russia and Ukraine. This year, the Olympiad attracted contestants from 14 countries. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of our partner VivaCell-MTS, the opportunity to travel to Yerevan to participate in the Olympiad is proving to be a very attractive proposition around the world, and is creating an event in this field that is unprecedented,” said Rich Goldman, president of the organizing committee of the Olympiad, CEO of Synopsys Armenia CSJC, and vice president of corporate marketing and strategic alliances at Synopsys. “This year‟s recognition from IEEE, the world‟s most respected professional engineering society, signifies the high global regard in which the Olympiad is held. The Olympiad also benefits Armenia by providing an impetus to showcase the country‟s developing role as a regional center for microelectronics, and it serves as a strong basis for developing beneficial relationships for Armenia around the world.” “The quality of education in Armenia will define our future – it is essential to boosting the country‟s competitive advantage,” said Ralph Yirikian, general manager of VivaCell-MTS, the general sponsor of the Olympiad. “Initiatives such as these need to be strongly encouraged. As Armenia‟s leading mobile operator and a corporate citizen, VivaCell-MTS recognizes the importance of supporting initiatives that lead young people to great discoveries and encourage creativity”
“The increasing participation and support over the years of the Olympiad of Armenia indicate that it indeed serves its main objectives to stimulate further development of microelectronics in the region and to increase the level of knowledge of the Olympiad participants,” said Professor Vazgen Melikyan, president of the program committee of the Olympiad and director of SAED. “It was my pleasure to participate again in this year‟s International Microelectronics Olympiad. Visiting Synopsys Armenia and seeing the fruitful collaboration between Synopsys and academia was a great experience,” said Mahmoud Ouda, Ph.D. student of the Department of Electrical Engineering at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia. “I hope to see even more participants from more countries next year.” GENERAL ORGANIZER AND SPONSOR Synopsys Armenia CJSC GENERAL SPONSOR VivaCell-MTS SPONSORS Viasphere Technopark Microsoft RA Unicomp CJSC Enterprise Incubator Foundation INGO Armenia ICJSC Arminco CJSC Union of Information Technology Enterprises Union of Manufacturers & Businessmen of Armenia PARTNER Co.Ltd ©Synopsys 2012 29 PRIZES • First Prize (went to China) • Second Prize (went to Saudi Arabia) • Third Prize (went to Armenia) • Third Prize (went to USA) • Best Engineering Solution (went to Armenia) • Most Creative Solution (went to Armenia) • Best Out-of-the-box Solution (went to Malaysia) • Best Female Participant (went to Armenia) • Youngest Participant (went to Armenia) • Best Result from each Country: Belarus, China, Germany, India, Jordan, Malaysia, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, UAE, Ukraine, USA.
