Abstract

Abstract The 55th edition of the International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO) was held from 16-25 July 2023 in Zurich, Switzerland. The alpine country hosted the competition for the first time, bringing together 350 students from 89 different countries. Despite the competitive spirit, the friendship among all participants was the main characteristic of this international event. The IChO is an annual competition for some of the most talented secondary school chemistry students. Participating countries send a team of four students who compete in two separate exams, a practical laboratory exam and a written theoretical exam. The mission of the IChO is to promote friendly relations between young people from different countries, encouraging cooperation and international understanding. Indeed, the IChO 2023 had a very fitting motto: “Let’s find solutions together!”
