Welcome Messages
I personally welcome all 400 participating students and 500 coordinators from all over the globe to the 18th International Science Olympiad, 2021. The Ministry of Education is highly focused on spreading and pioneering the light and power of science and innovative education for the welfare of global society and paving ways to a better future with a scientific temper. With all the Covid safety precautions in place, we are highly committed to making this hybrid Olympiad a great success and enjoyable for all delegations, the teams participating online, and the team leaders present in Dubai. While I wish the students all the very best and expanding the horizons of their minds, I also encourage everyone to form bonds of strength and friendship that go beyond the realms of science. I am sure that this fantastic experience will last with you for a lifetime. May you always uphold the torch of knowledge into your future!
