Austria cheered: Student team wins four medals in Dubai!

Wieden, Österreich - Yesterday the International Chemical Olympics ended in Dubai, and the Austrian team returned with a remarkable success: four bronze medals. Finn Köll, Kei Kazazic, Nico Gartner and Anna Hois have demonstrated their skills and asserted themselves in one of the most demanding competitions in the MINT area (mathematics, computer science, natural sciences). The competition attracts participants from all over the world and offers a platform on which the best students can compete with each other. Meinverzirk reports that the Austrian talents were selected by the State Olympics and the National Chemical Olympiad this year took place for the 51st time.

Ulrich Wieltsch, the chairman of the specialist association of the chemical industry in Austria, was particularly positive about the achievements of the students. He emphasized the importance of such talents for the chemical industry and congratulated the participants on their success. Kazazic, who attended the Sir Karl Popper School in the 4th district, shared his gratitude for the opportunity to exchange ideas with international students. For him, the meeting was a valuable experience that goes beyond the purely academic achievements.

a desire for more

Finn Köll expressed the wish that the international chemical Olympics could one day also be held in Austria. While the next chemistry Olympics was set in Uzbekistan for 2026, there will be hope for a future event in domestic realms. This statement illustrates the pride and commitment of the young chemists to make their homeland visible on the international stage. The WKO emphasizes that all participants of the Austrian team return home with medals.

The chemical Olympics itself is more than just a competition. It promotes international relationships in the field of school chemistry and enables the comparison of school knowledge in different countries. Through the theoretical and experimental tasks, the members of the team not only test their knowledge, but also establish personal relationships with prospective scientists from all over the world. The gdch describes the competition as an opportunity to strengthen international cooperation and to promote interest in the natural sciences.

The success of the Austrian team clearly shows that not only a lot of talent in this country, but also a great enthusiasm for chemistry. It will be interesting to see which talents from the Alpine Republic will continue to cause a stir in the future.
