WE NEED YOU
Become a volunteer and participate in the success of the next IChO in Zürich
The International Chemistry Olympiad will be hosted between 16-25 July, 2023 for the first time in Switzerland, organised by the ETH Zurich. We are excited to welcome over 900 participants from up to 90 delegations from all over the world!
Such a big event is impossible without the help of dedicated people like you! Knowledge of chemistry is not mandatory. The most important asset is your motivation to make the IChO 2023 a success. Your accommodation, meals, and transportation expenses in Switzerland will be covered.
In addition, you will receive access to the outstanding academic and sightseeing program when accompanying our international guests. Please feel free to share this with your network and let’s make this great event happen – together
The International Chemistry Olympiad is a competition for young chemists. Switzerland has participated in the IChO since 1987. The goal of the Olympiads is to challenge and encourage scientifically interested and talented middle school students and to promote international exchange.
For the IChO each delegation can provide a team of a maximum of 4 young people under the age of 20 who have previously been selected in the national Olympiad of their country. In Switzerland, approximately 300 young talents complete the first round of SwissChO each year.
