Within the scopes of the cooperation agreement between Converse Bank and Ayb Educational Foundation, the All-Armenian Tournament of Young Chemists will take place on May 5 under the sponsorship of the bank.

“Supporting competitive education compliant with the international standards has been among Converse Bank’s priorities throughout its activity. This tournament is a great opportunity to popularize natural sciences, in particular, to encourage interest in chemistry,” said Artur Hakobyan, Chief Executive Officer of Converse Bank.

According to him, the bank has experience of many years in cooperation with several Armenian educational institutions and regularly makes various advantageous offers for their students, as well as supports improvement of their educational environment and conditions.  

The bank will especially emphasize this approach in 2018.

“This year Converse Bank celebrates the 25th anniversary since its establishment. Within the framework of the 25th anniversary events, we will implement numerous projects aimed at encouraging innovative thinking and designed for young people,” said Artur Hakobyan.

This year, 40 teams of students from grades 9-12 from Yerevan and different regions of Armenia and Artsakh will take part in the tournament, which means that the interest of high school students towards the tournament is gradually increasing.

“We are highly inspired by this cooperation. As a result of collaboration between Ayb Foundation and Converse Bank, we can reveal brilliant young people who will continue their education and development and secure growth in the sectors of chemistry, industry and medicine in our country,” said Shoushan Karapetyan, Head of Contests Department at Ayb Foundation.  

Ayb Educational Foundation implements this initiative since 2010. The tournament is an interactive game, during which the participating pupils solve advanced chemistry problems, discuss different scientific topics, and present the results of their research.
