/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Four Armenian students will arrive in Cambridge, UK
to compete in this year's prestigious International Chemistry Olympiad
(IChO). Smbat Mkhitaryan, Vahagn Tamazyan, Artur Aslanyan and Edvard
Sargsyan will represent Armenia in the 41st IChO on July 19- 26.
They will be joined by 254 of the world's most promising young
chemists from 65 other nations to face the ultimate test of their
chemistry knowledge.
In the modern competition each country is allowed to bring 4 students
to compete. The criterion for their participation is that they are
yet to embark upon university education and they also have to be
under the age of 20; the youngest participant this year is just 14
years old. Students often undergo highly competitive regional and
national selection procedures to compete in the IChO.
Although the first IChO was held 41 years ago with only three
participating nations, it is now a truly international competition
with over 60 countries competing regularly.
