The inaugural Olympiad was designed to foster scientific capability and technological creativity among high school students worldwide. This year’s competition drew participation from 20 countries across five continents, underscoring the event’s global reach and diversity.
The main exam took place on September 28, followed by a 72-hour challenge during which participants were required to submit a video presentation outlining an economic model to address a global environmental challenge using nanotechnology.
According to the organizers, 70% of the total score was based on the online written exam, while 30% was allocated to the submitted business model and video presentation. All entries were evaluated by an international panel of judges from multiple countries, who assessed the submissions based on creativity, feasibility, and scientific merit.
Ultimately, Iranian students stood out as the top performers, capturing eight of the eleven gold medals, thereby securing first place globally in this pioneering event.
The General Secretariat of the International Olympiad, which operates at both the university and high school levels, is based in Iran under the supervision of the Iran Nano and Micro Technologies Innovation Council. The event was also supported by the Young Scholars Club, the official organizer of national and international Olympiads in Iran.
Organizers emphasized that this first virtual edition aimed to enhance global scientific collaboration among youth and promote innovative approaches to global challenges through nanoscience.
