The 35th International Biology Olympiad, 2024, will be held in the Republic of Kazakhstan from July 7 to 13. This is the competition with the largest number of participating countries ever, with 81 countries and territories and 320 contestants.
According to the Regulations of the International IBO Association, the competition awards prizes to no more than 10% of contestants who win gold medals, 20% of contestants who win silver medals, and 30% of contestants who win bronze medals.
The total number of medals awarded this year includes 28 gold medals, 56 silver medals, and 84 bronze medals.
Candidates will undergo 2 official exam days with a duration of 6-8 hours/day. Of which, 1 day is for theory exam with 2 papers and 1 day is for practice exam with 4 laboratories on molecular biology, biochemistry, animal anatomy and physiology and bioinformatics.
This year's exam requires candidates to have a good understanding of both theory and proficiency in practical skills, correctly and effectively applying knowledge and skills of biology from classical to modern in solving many diverse problems of global issues.
The achievement at the 2024 International Biology Olympiad is the best achievement of Vietnamese students since 2019.

This achievement continues the series of high achievements that Vietnamese student delegations have achieved at international Olympic competitions in recent years, with the quantity, quality of medals and average exam scores of students constantly improving, approaching the world's leading countries in the same field.
