Saudi Student Earns Bronze at 2025 Nuclear Science Olympiad

Saudi Arabia earned a bronze medal at the 2025 International Nuclear Science Olympiad (INSO), held in Kuala Lumpur from July 30th to August 6th. The medal was awarded to Azam Khaled Al-Omari, a student from Jeddah, who competed alongside 56 students representing 14 countries.

The INSO, officially endorsed by the International Atomic Energy Agency in 2024, focuses on promoting the peaceful and safe use of nuclear technologies while encouraging youth engagement in the field. The competition is structured around two intensive five-hour examinations, one theoretical and one practical, designed to test participants’ grasp of nuclear science through experiments or simulations.
