for example, are only a small part of national project“Education”. Mr. Fursenko thanked the sponsors - Tokyo
Boeki, Lykoil, Base Element, Potanin’s Charity Fond for their help in holding the 39th International ChemicalOlympiad. Minister also added it was really great that bigchemistry companies are interesting in young educatedpeople and ready to cooperate with the Government in

Then came the turn of Manfred Kerschbaumer. He noticed
that the level of the Olympiad was very high. It is easy toexplain. Russian Chemistry Education takes leading placein the world.
Sponsors also couldn’t keep silence. Representatives fromTokyo Boeki and Lukoil, Mr Uchida and Mrs Safanova,

Questions to Minister and last but not the least - themeeting of the International Jury where the judges havedecided how many gold, silver and bronze medals would
