The IdPhO 2020 was organised virtually from December 7-15 in accordance with an initiative by the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology as an alternative to the annual International Physics Olympiad (IPhO), which was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the IPhO last year, the Vietnamese team brought home three gold medals and two silvers.
