A Proud Achievement at One of the World's Most Prestigious Chemistry Olympiads: The International Mendeleev Chemistry Olympiad
Türkiye has once again made its mark on the global scientific stage. At the 59th International Mendeleev Chemistry Olympiad (IMChO)—recognized as one of the world’s most prestigious and challenging chemistry competitions—all members of the Turkish National Team earned medals, making the nation proud.
Held in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, from May 5 to 13, 2025, the Olympiad brought together 192 outstanding students from 39 countries. Trained under TÜBİTAK's 2202 Science Olympiads Program, our students returned home with 2 Silver and 2 Bronze Medals.
The medal-winning students representing Türkiye were:
Efe Ok and Bahri Eren Sarıkaya Silver Medal
Mehmet Can Sankır and Ömer Faruk Özdemir Bronze Medal
We congratulate all our students who successfully represented our country; we would like to thank their families, teachers and all the academicians who took part in the trainings, especially our Olympic Committee Presidents, who contributed to this process.
