Abstract

The International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO)-a chemistry competition for secondary-school students that began in Czechoslovakia in 1968-continues to grow in size, prestige, complexity, and cost. Teams from a record 68 countries will compete at the 37th International Chemistry Olympiad, which will be held 16-25 July 2005 in Taipei, Taiwan. The IChO tests students' ability to solve challenging chemical problems by designing and conducting their own experiments. The Olympiads also encourage cooperation, understanding, and friendship among young people from different countries. The following description of the 36th IChO provides an in-depth look at how these events are organized and managed, including the benefits and challenges for the host country.
