From 1 to 15 April 2023, the invitation stage of the III International Financial Security Olympiad will take place on the “Sirius” Education Centre’s online platform. Pupils, students and anyone else wanting to test their skills will be able to take part in the event. Registration is already open. The tasks will be available from 1 April 00:00 Moscow time. There are two links to register - one for pupils and one for all others.
Invitation stage creative tasks demonstrate how knowledge from school subjects (mathematics, physics, social studies and law) is used to solve complex assignments in the field of financial monitoring.
The recommended time for completing assignment is two hours, but access to the test system will be available within 24 hours after the start of the test. For pupils and students, the invitation stage is a kind of preparation for the preliminary (university) stage of the International Financial Security Olympiad. It will start on April 17, 2023 for the 8-10th grade pupils and students.
"The invitation stage is a great opportunity to test your knowledge of financial security. As active users of online services, we often face different risks. Everyone needs to know how to behave in certain situations and how to protect your personal data and finances. By completing the tasks, users will be able to uncover their strengths and weaknesses in this difficult area of knowledge and get new information," said German Neglyad, State Secretary, Deputy Director of Rosfinmonitoring.
The Olympiad final will take place on October 2-6, 2023 at the “Sirius” Education Centre in Sochi and will bring together more than 500 participants.
