IYPT 2019—Global Report
Abstract
The International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements 2019 (IYPT2019) has been celebrated during the year in over 130 countries, with well over a thousand events and festivities, reaching millions of young and old people, scientists and non-scientists. The event as a whole has been very successful; the 160-page report released last October illustrated in length the community partnership for global outreach and the diversity and success of the activities that took place throughout the year.
With the Periodic Table being crucial for chemists, physicists, astronomers and many more, the celebrations have brought together a large variety of participants, starting with a grand opening at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, France and ending with a fabulous closing ceremony in Tokyo, Prince Hotel, Japan. Worldwide many scientists and educators have been working on these events, with a high degree of dedication and commitment to show scientists, the public and children the history and relevance of the Periodic Table. The Periodic Table is and will be used in hightech research to generate new ideas and solutions for the many challenges of modern society.
This overall report on the planning and celebrations of IYPT2019 has been assembled from information, photographs and data provided by a large number of teachers and scientists from all over the world, and by the IYPT2019 partners. This final report was compiled and edited by the Editorial Team including Frank Sekeris, office manager, Natalia Tarasova, co-chair of the IYPT Interunion International Management Committee, and Jan Reedijk, co-chair of the IYPT Interunion International Management Committee. Page editing was completed by the All-Russian Science Festival.
