The IAChO is held annually by the Indonesia Regional Science Association (IRSA), aiming to enhance students’ capacity in science, especially chemistry.

This year, three Vietnamese students competed in the IACho final round, during which candidates were asked to complete a written test and do a presentation, both on chemistry knowledge.
