The Physics League Across Numerous Countries for Kick-ass Students (PLANCKS) 2019 is shaping up to be an incredible event, with participants from many countries, either through preliminaries or as individual teams without prelims, as shows the map above (where only countries with IAPS members are highlighted).

This year, the international competition will be held in Odense, Denmark, organised by Æter, the Student Council for the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Pharmacy at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU)!

So far, 14 countries have either held or are planning to hold preliminaries! Organised by National Committees (NCs) or Local Committees (LCs) of IAPS in their respective countries, several of them will be part of a larger event, like national Physics students conferences or other programmes with lectures and workshops!

Below are the preliminaries expected thus far, in order corresponding to the numbering on the map.
