The 27th Chem-dot-Comm Challenge

Our theme for the 27th CHEM•COMM CHALLENGE is “The role of Chemistry in Singapore Green Plan 2030”. The Green Plan charts ambitious and concrete targets over the next 10 years, strengthening Singapore’s commitments under the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and Paris Agreement, and positioning us to achieve our long-term net zero emissions aspiration as soon as viable. Open to secondary students, this competition challenges the participants to explore how chemistry  assists in achieving the targets. Details can be found here. [The registration is closed.]
