Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) —  On 10 November, in celebration of World Science Day, the State Corporation "Rosatom" will traditionally hold the international atomic-themed quiz, Global Atomic Quiz 2024. This year marks the fifth anniversary of the quiz, which will take place in a special format: online in 13 languages and in-person worldwide—from Brazil to Kazakhstan.

Participants will have the opportunity not only to learn more about peaceful nuclear energy and win unique prizes but also to discover the fascinating and diverse applications of atomic technologies. The quiz will be available in English, Russian, Bengali, Hungarian, Spanish, Portuguese, Kyrgyz, Kazakh, Mongolian, Turkish, Uzbek, Arabic, and Indonesian.

To participate in the quiz, registration is required on the project website -- https://quiz.atomforyou.com/ -- on 10 November. Participants will have 24 hours to answer 25 questions of varying difficulty and topics. For example, can we tame the energy of stars right here on Earth? How can we unlock the mysteries of ancient pyramids and volcanoes without getting too close? And why is the heat from nuclear power plants especially valuable in tropical regions, where it’s already hot?

In honor of the fifth anniversary, the quiz questions will be divided into five thematic areas representing key achievements in the atomic sector: green energy, medicine, science, transportation and industry, as well as agro-industry. The project website features infographics illustrating various applications of atomic technologies, serving as helpful hints for quiz participants.

All participants will receive an electronic certificate that they can save on their devices and share with friends on social media. The top 100 participants with the best results will receive an exclusive prize—a figurine atomic puzzle, which is not just a brainteaser but also a chance to learn about amazing applications of atomic technologies, from spacecraft to high-tech farming. Three winners will receive a special prize—a trip to Russia. The list of winners will be published on the project website by 22 November.

The Global Atomic Quiz is more than just a science-themed quiz; it is a truly global educational project that informs about the fundamentals of nuclear physics, emphasizes the importance of atomic technologies in everyday life, and highlights the role of nuclear energy in preserving our planet. Launched in 2020 and conducted in over 11 languages, the project has attracted the attention of more than 40,000 participants from over 70 countries. In 2023, the project won the IX All-Russian Award "For Loyalty to Science" in the "Science to the World" category.
