We extend our warmest welcome to everyone to Taipei for the 59th International Chemistry Olympiad, being held here from July 19 to July 28, 2027. We are delighted to host this important international competition and to collectively witness the exceptional talent, dedicated commitment, and boundless passion of young chemists from all corners of the globe.

The International Chemistry Olympiad brings together top young scientists from different countries and regions who share a profound passion for chemistry. They interact and bring out each other’s strengths, learn from one another, collaborate across borders, and inspire each other to reach new heights as they exert their utmost effort, competing to achieve the honor of being among the medalists.

And as you tackle complex chemical problems during the competition and share your insights about how to solve them, you’re doing far more than enriching your own academic journey: you’re contributing to a vital global dialogue on how chemistry can transform our daily lives, industries, and ecosystems.

The International Chemistry Olympiad is far more than a high-level competition: it’s also an opportunity for cultural and intellectual exchanges. Taipei is a friendly, multicultural, modern international city and we warmly invite all the participants to immerse yourselves in our rich cultural heritage and hospitality beyond the competitive environment of the laboratories. We hope that your time in Taipei will be filled with enriching experiences, inspiring discoveries, and the beginning of new international friendships, and leave you with unforgettable memories.

We wish all our international guests a wonderful time as we join hands to celebrate the spirit of scientific exploration and our enduring pursuit of excellence in chemistry, at the International Chemistry Olympiad 2027 here in Taipei!
