STAGES OF PARTICIPATION
Registration for the selection online stage from 0:00, october 10 2025 until 20:00 Astana time, October 26th

You can start at any time, there is a 5-hour limit on solving.
The final in-person stage from November 28 to December 1 at Baiterek School of Science and Technology in the city of Almaty
The tournament tasks are compiled by a team from the members of the Kazakhstan national chemistry and math team: awardees of **IChO**, IMO, IJSO, IMChO, and students from MIPT, Harvard, Williams College, and Sheffield University. We strive to take the very best from both classical Olympiads, as well as from the less typical ones like the MIPT LPR Cup.
The format entails mandatory collaborative and effective work of all team members to win. It is primarily the ability to maintain a friendly atmosphere after 6-hour marathons of solving the most complex Olympiad chemistry problems and sensible allocation of duties
TEAMWORK
For victory, teams must build proper tactics and strategies. Only with them can one defeat a more academically powerful team
