Introduction

The Chemical Institute of Canada (CIC) is one of the world’s leading authoritative chemical academic institutions. It consists of three chemical organizations: the Canadian Chemical Society, the Canadian Chemical Engineering Association, and the Canadian Biochemical Association. The purpose of CIC is to use chemistry to create a modern and beautiful life, with a focus on the role of chemistry in promoting environmental protection, health and economic development. CIC is the organizer of the Canadian Chemistry Contest (CCC) and the Canadian Chemistry Olympiad (CCO) which aims to promote interest in chemistry amongst high school students.

 

The Canadian Chemistry Contest (CCC) fosters an appreciation of chemistry as a career for talented young people and promotes national excellence in chemistry at the high school/ cégep level. 

 

The Canadian Chemistry Olympiad (CCO) is an annual event that aims to promote interest in chemistry among high school students. Participation in the Canadian National Olympiad Finals or an International Olympiad is a tremendous experience and a unique opportunity to travel and meet fellow students from around the world who have similar interests. 

 

The Junior Canadian Chemistry Olympiad (JCCO) is a Junior Canadian Chemistry Olympiad contest. It is one of the most well-known competitions for middle students hosted by Chemical Institute of Canada (CIC). It aims to promote interest in chemistry among students grade 8-11. 

 

The International Chemistry Quiz (ICQ) is organized by the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. It provides a major focus on the relevance of chemistry in an exciting and stimulating way, helping to develop their abilities in information extraction, observation, and problem-solving. ICQ has garnered widespread recognition from teachers and students worldwide. Students will only be competing with other students from their country or state, in the same year level. Six divisions suits for students in grades 7-12. 


In 2024, for the first time, the Canadian Chemistry Contest (CCC) & Canadian Chemistry Olympiad (CCO) is authorized to be organized in Vietnam by GENIUSSTAR company (Singapore).
