Be part of an unforgettable event in Tashkent—celebrating scientific excellence, global friendship, and the next generation of chemistry leaders.
International Chemistry Olympiad in Tashkent
The International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO) is the world's most prestigious annual competition for secondary school chemistry students. Since its inception in 1968 in Czechoslovakia, the IChO has grown to include over 90 countries, bringing together the brightest young minds in chemistry from around the globe.
Each year, exceptional students compete in both theoretical and practical examinations, demonstrating their mastery of chemistry through rigorous 5-hour sessions that test their knowledge, problem-solving abilities, and laboratory skills.
The competition celebrates individual achievement rather than team scores, with medals and honors awarded to recognize outstanding performance and foster international scientific collaboration.
