International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) is a prestigious computer science competition for secondary school students worldwide. IOI has expanded its scope beyond the annual competition and now offers study abroad programs to connect high-achieving secondary school students with leading academic institutions and researchers.

One common IOI study abroad program is the Visiting Students Research Program (VSRP) at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) in Mumbai, India. VSRP is a two-month program where students are matched with mentors and work on projects related to computer science research.

Another popular program is the Summer School on Algorithms and Complexity (ACSUM) at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China. This program is aimed at students interested in algorithmic problem solving and consists of lectures, problem sets, and team competitions.

IOI also offers programs at other prestigious institutions such as the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in Russia and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in South Korea.
