Abstract
With more than 20 years of history, the Tournament of Young Chemists is an innovative, cross-disciplinary competition that promulgates the everyday life of scientists into the classrooms and on the contest stage. Original, open-type problems, unrestricted access to scientific data sources, and personal interaction with researchers from different fields of chemistry aim to develop a broad range of skills that prepare the participants for their future academic endeavors such as thinking, communication, reasoning, and teamwork.
