The 57th International Chemistry Olympiad was held from July 5 to July 14 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). The Olympiad had the participation of delegations from 90 countries and territories, with 354 contestants.
The Vietnamese team has excellently won 4 Gold Medals, including 2 Gold Medals in the top 10. Specifically, the students' achievements are as follows:
Ngo Quang Minh, grade 12 student, Bac Ninh High School for the Gifted, Bac Ninh province, ranked 7th;
Nguyen Hoang Khoi, grade 12 student, High School for the Gifted, Hanoi National University of Education, ranked 10th;
Giang Duc Dung, grade 12 student, High School for Gifted Students in Natural Sciences , University of Natural Sciences, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, ranked 14th;
Nguyen Manh Tuan, 11th grade student, Hanoi-Amsterdam High School for the Gifted, Hanoi, ranked 37th.
In the medal tally, the Vietnamese delegation ranked equal with the Chinese and American delegations in terms of the number of Gold Medals.
According to the Ministry of Education and Training, this is also the first time in history that the Vietnamese team has won 4 Gold Medals in a Chemistry Olympiad held live. This year's achievements of the Vietnamese team continue the impressive achievements at international Olympiads in recent years. With a total of 24 contestants participating from 2020-2025, the Vietnamese team excellently won 24/24 medals, including 21 Gold Medals and 3 Silver Medals.
This achievement also continues to affirm the quality of spearhead general education alongside mass education, the right direction in the work of discovering, selecting and nurturing excellent students of the Ministry of Education and Training.
The International Chemistry Olympiad consists of a theoretical exam and a practical exam, each lasting 5 hours.
At the 2025 International Chemistry Olympiad, the practical exam requires candidates to master basic to advanced experimental skills, such as synthesizing and analyzing complexes, identifying amino acids, identifying organic compounds using thin layer chromatography techniques, titration, and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. This exam requires precision, logical thinking, and proficient laboratory operations.
Meanwhile, the theoretical exam revolves around environmental issues, technology or applications of chemistry in life such as: seawater desalination, solar energy, tennis balls, lanterns ... requiring candidates to apply comprehensive knowledge and critical thinking to solve problems. The structure of this year's exam is considered creative, close to real life but still ensures scientific depth.
