“The initiative of the UN General Assembly is designed to show that only through a deep understanding of the comprehensive laws of nature and through cooperation can we achieve common global interests,” said Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Head of the UNESCO Chair on “Green Chemistry for Sustainable Development”, Prof. Natalia Tarasova.
“The inclusion of the Olympiad, initiated by Mendeleev University, in the official calendar of events of the International Year will contribute to deepening the cooperation of students interested in fundamental sciences.”
Event aims
The Olympics will take place from October 20 to December 20, 2022. It is aimed at enhancing international cooperation, identifying and supporting the most talented, professionally trained and active students, increasing academic mobility and creating conditions for intellectual and creative communication in scientific and educational centers.
Outstanding scientists and scientists are invited to the jury. Among them is the Russian scientist and academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Yuri Oganesyan, who in November 2021 was awarded the first ever International UNESCO-Russia Prize named after D.I. Mendeleev for achievements in the field of fundamental sciences for sustainable development.
