Change Creation Fusion
The Slogan of the 54th International Chemistry Olympiad is ‘Change, Creation, Fusion’. The form of the slogan adopts a catchy parallel sentence pattern that has not been used in the previous IChO. ‘Change’ and ‘Creation’ are the essence of chemistry, reflecting the important role of chemistry in the development of human civilization. ‘Fusion’ embodies the meaning of blending and integration of chemical materials as well as multiple cultures of mankind. Therefore, ‘fusion’ aims to echo the furnace in the emblem of IChO2022.
To ‘change’ reflects China's proposition that science and technology are for social good, that science and technology are involved in social governance, and that science and technology can better contribute to human well-being. ‘Creation’ emphasizes
the importance of innovation that is cultivated since childhood: we need to be good at innovation, be brave about innovation, and be responsible regarding innovation.
