The 8th International Physics Olympiad took place from the 7.7. to the 12.7. 1975 in Güstrow, in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). Altogether, 9 countries with 45 pupils participated. The teams came from Bulgaria, the German Democratic Republic, the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), France, Poland, Rumania, Tchechoslowakia, Hungary and the USSR. The entire event took place in the pedagogic academy of Güstrow. Pupils and leaders were
accommodated inside the university academy complex. On the schedule there was the competition and receptions as well as excursions to Schwerin, Rostock, and Berlin were offered. The delegation of the FRG reported of a very good organisation of the olympiad.
The problems and solutions of the 8th International Physics Olympiad were created by a commission of university physics professors and lecturers. The same commission set marking schemes and conducted the correction of the tests. The correction was carried out very quickly and was considered as righteous and, in cases of doubt, as very generous.
