International Olympiad in Informatics has been held since 1989. Her idea in 1987 was proposed by the Bulgarian professor Blagovest Sendov at the twenty-fourth general conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The first IOI was held in Bulgaria.

The Olympiad takes 7 days and is held at the end of the summer. The three tasks of IOI are programs in a programming language (C, C ++, Pascal or Java), which must be completed before the end of the five-hour competition period for evaluation. Each student works individually at his own computer. The technical equipment of all the participants is the same. It takes five hours to solve algorithmic problems, communication with other participants and the use of educational / reference books is prohibited. Each task includes problem analysis, the development of algorithms and data structures, the development of the program and its testing. The remaining five days of the Olympiad are reserved for the arrival of delegations, excursions and other events.
