In general, the Olympiad brought together about 300 students from 51 universities in 15 countries. Among them are Turkmenistan, Russia, England, Austria, Hungary, Belarus, China, Korea, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Romania.

The Olympiad was held online on the Moodle platform of the university's educational portal. It was held in three languages (Turkmen, Russian and English) in the format of individual competitions, dividing the participants into two categories - A and B. The first included students specializing in the study of chemistry, the second united those for whom the subject was not a core one.

So, in category A, 18 prizes (6 first, 9 second and 3 third) were awarded to students of domestic universities. Meriem Berdiyeva, Abdykerim Nurmukhammedov, Sona Berenova, Ata Charyev, students of the International University of Oil and Gas named after Y. Kakaev, were named the winners and the best experts in chemistry. Two more winners are Ogulbagt Mukhammetberdyeva and Serdar Begendzhev, students of Magtymguly Turkmen State University.

The 12 winners in this category also include students from the two named universities, the Engineering and Technology University of Turkmenistan named after Oguzhan and the Turkmen State Institute of Architecture and Civil Engineering. Moreover, 5 second places, and there are only 12 of them, were awarded to students of the Oguzhan University.

The results of foreign participants in this category are as follows: Russia - 17 prizes, Korea - 4, Tajikistan - 4, England - 2, Hungary - 1, China - 1.

10 out of 10 - all first places were awarded to Turkmen students in category B. Five winners were determined from the Oguzhan Engineering and Technology University - Bakhtiyar Kakamuradov, Gulshat Abdyllayeva, Gultach Annanepesova, Sokhbet Rakhmedov and Merdan Saparov. Four victories were won by students Rozybay Shatlykov, Oguljeren Veliyeva (Turkmen Agricultural University named after S.A. Niyazov) and Serdar Nepesov, Nurmurat Gadamov (State Medical University of Turkmenistan named after M. Garryev). Another victory for Rakhim Pirov (Institute of Telecommunications and Informatics of Turkmenistan).

32 winners in the second category are represented by the above-mentioned universities of the country, as well as the International University of Oil and Gas named after Ya. communications, the Turkmen State University named after Magtymguly, the Military Institute of the Ministry of Defense of the country, the Turkmen State Pedagogical Institute named after S. Seidi and the Turkmen State Institute of Economics and Management.

In general, in category B, our students have 42 prizes (10 first, 13 second and 19 third).

In this category, participants from Russia have 10 prizes, Belarus - 2, China - 2, Malaysia - 2, Kazakhstan - 1, Kyrgyzstan - 1, Romania - 1 and Uzbekistan - 1.

According to the rules, no more than five students from one university could be involved in each of the two categories, which made it possible to determine the leaders of the team standings by the total score of the participants. Given the superior number of winners and prize-winners representing domestic universities, the places were distributed as follows:

In category A, the team of the International University of Oil and Gas named after Ya. Kakaev received a well-deserved title of winner. The second place belongs to the Turkmen State University named after Magtymguly. The third was awarded to the team of the Engineering and Technology University named after Oguzkhan, which won the first place in the B category of the Olympiad. The teams of the State Medical University named after M. Garryev and the Turkmen Agricultural University named after S.A. Niyazov took the second and third places, respectively.

The presentation of diplomas to the winners and prize-winners of the International Student Review in Chemistry is scheduled for May 20.

It should be noted that the number of participants in the Olympiad included such reputable universities as Oxford University, Petronas University of Technology and other world-famous higher schools.

The competition tasks were compiled taking into account international experience, more than a hundred examples were considered and analyzed, which were included in the content of many international chemistry Olympiads. The participants were offered tasks in organic, inorganic, physical, analytical chemistry, as well as general chemistry from the curriculum for technical universities.

As noted by the representatives of the MUNG named after Ya. Kakaev, the Olympiad was held at a high organizational level, with full compliance with its regulations and procedures, productively and indicatively. The goals of the review were fully achieved, all participants were satisfied, which is emphasized in the numerous grateful reviews received by the organizing university.
