DOHA: Qatari students achieved a notable milestone by winning silver and bronze medals in their first participation in the 2024 International Nuclear Science Olympiad, held in the Philippines from July 31 to August 7, 2024.
The annual Olympiad, sponsored by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), aims to assess high school students’ critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills in nuclear science.
Four students in this international competition represented Qatar, each a shining example of the nation’s potential. Gulvandi Ibrahim from Messaieed International School won the silver medal. At the same time, Aditya Vivek Srinath from the Indian School secured the bronze.
