With the participation of Syria, the tests of the first round of the 2021 Mendeleev International Chemistry Olympiad were launched today, organized by Russia "remotely" over a period of two days, with the participation of students from 31 countries.
The Syrian team includes, according to a statement by the Excellence and Creativity Authority, a copy of which SANA received four students from among the top students in the national selection tests for the specialty of chemistry: Anas Abbas from Homs, Maha Ali from Tartous, Ahmad Thaer Atar from Aleppo and Ali Maarouf from the National Center for Excellence.
The authority stated that the Olympiad competitions include two rounds of scientific exams, each of five continuous hours, within one examination center at the headquarters of the Excellence and Creativity Authority in Damascus.
