The 2024 HiMCM competition releases two modeling challenges—Problem A asks teams to develop a quantitative model for selecting Olympic sports for the 2032 Brisbane Games based on IOC criteria, while Problem B requires assessing the environmental impact of high‑performance computing and proposing sustainable solutions.
The 2023 HiMCM competition presents three interdisciplinary modeling problems—predicting dandelion dispersion across climates, designing ecological and financial models for electric bus fleet transitions, and estimating medal and flag requirements for Paris 2024 Olympic ceremonies—each requiring comprehensive mathematical analysis and strategic planning.
