WHAT IS ICHO?
The International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO) is an annual academic competition for high school students. It is one ofthe most prestigious International Science Olympiads. The first IChO was held in Prague, Czechoslovakia, in 1968. The event has been held every year since then, with the exception of 1971. The delegations that attended the first events were mostly countries of the former Eastern bloc and it was not until 1980, the 12th annual International Chemistry Olympiad, that the event was held outside of the bloc in Austria. Up to 4 students for each national team compete around July in theoretical and experimental sections, with about half of the participants awarded medals.
UAE is delighted to host the 57th ICHO, the renowned annual World Championship (Competition) of Chemistry, in Dubai from July 5th to 14th, 2025.
