The Chemistry Olympiad – miss it, miss out
The international final of the Chemistry Olympiad – a chemistry competition for sixthformers – was held in Taiwan this year
Each year, the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) organises and funds round one, which starts the selection process for the four students who go on to represent the UK in the International Chemistry Olympiad final. The RSC is keen to encourage as many students as possible to take part in this round, which is a challenging but enjoyable test of chemical knowledge and is an event in its own right. Round one is open to all UK upper sixth students. Gold, silver and bronze certificates are awarded, and the top 50 students are given book tokens.
