Out of almost 70 participating teams, only the University of St. Petersburg (1st place), the Jagiellonian University in Kraków (2nd place) and the University of Tel Aviv (3rd place) finished ahead of the University of Bonn. The International Mathematics Competition for University Students has been held annually since 1994. The Bonn team regularly finishes among the top 10 universities. Many of the former students who have competed for Germany and other countries in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in recent years are now studying mathematics at the University of Bonn.

As every year, the Bonn team was supported by the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics at the University of Bonn. It was led by two other math students from Bonn, Paul Müller and Maximilian Göbel, who were also involved in the corrections.
