2015, unprecedented successes of the OPQ in international competitions

Abstract

2015, a year in which we commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Peruvian Chemistry Olym­piad (OPQ), has been a very successful year for our Olympic team in the international Chemis­try events in which Peru has participated. Three medals were obtained in the International Chem­istry Olympiad (IChO) and four were awarded to our team at the Iberoamerican Chemistry Olym­piad (OIAQ). Moreover, in the latter a student from our delegation had the best final score. Our national competition, the Peruvian Chemistry Olympiad (OPQ), had a great success with regard to student participation (more than two thousand students registered nationwide) making it an un­missable event among secondary school students interested in Chemistry.
