Pakistan wins two silver and two bronze medals in the inaugural Nuclear Science Olympiad.
In a remarkable debut at the inaugural International Nuclear Science Olympiad (INSO-2024) held in the Philippines, the Pakistani team achieved significant success, securing two silver and two bronze medals.
Suleman Nouman from Siddeeq Public School, Islamabad, and Subhan Kashif from Lahore Grammar School earned silver medals, while Ehban Awan from Karachi Grammar School and Qasim Salam from Siddeeq Public School, Rawalpindi, took home bronze medals.
The Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences (PIEAS), the top-ranked engineering university under the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC), selected these talented students from across the country through rigorous testing and evaluation. Following their selection, they received specialized training at PIEAS under the guidance of their mentors, Dr. Sajjad Tahir from PIEAS and Dr. Muhammad Maqsood from the Education Directorate of PAEC, preparing them for the Olympiad.
INSO-2024, held in Clark, Philippines, from August 1-6, 2024, was sponsored by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and other international organizations.
The winning students, along with their parents, teachers from their respective schools, and mentors from PIEAS and PAEC, deserve high praise for representing Pakistan with such distinction on the global stage.
It’s worth noting that, in addition to these achievements, Pakistani students have recently won medals in the International Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics Olympiads, bringing further honor to the nation. This latest success in Nuclear Science adds another feather to Pakistan’s cap.
