Nanoscience and Technology Olympiad: A Pathway of Discovery for High School Students

The International Student Nanotechnology Olympiad is a unique global scientific competition designed to identify and nurture talented students in the field of nanotechnology. It offers an exceptional opportunity for students aged 16 to 19 from around the world to challenge their knowledge, creativity, and skills in a highly competitive and collaborative environment.

The Islamic Republic of Iran, as the founder and host of the Olympiad’s permanent secretariat, established this event to strengthen international scientific cooperation, create a platform for the growth of exceptional talents, and guide them toward research and innovation. This Olympiad is not merely a competition; it is a bridge connecting young scientific talents with experts and stakeholders in the field.

To date, 16 editions of the National Nanotechnology Olympiad have been held in Iran, with more than 110,000 high school students participating in these competitions.
