Russian schoolchildren won 4 medals at the 36th International Biology Olympiad.
The results of the 36th International Biology Olympiad (IBO 2025) were summed up in Quezon City (Republic of the Philippines). Four Russian high school students won two gold, one silver and one bronze medals.
The children and their mentors were congratulated on their victory by Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov.

You demonstrated outstanding knowledge, which brought the Russian team four medals: two gold, silver and bronze. This is the result of the synergy of the students' persistence and work, the contribution of teachers and the support of parents. Friends, may your interest in learning natural sciences not fade away. Our President Vladimir Putin said: "Science is the basis of development and progress". Develop your talents, strive for breakthrough solutions and new discoveries. The future of Russia is in your hands," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.
At the moment, the Russian teams have 18 gold, 6 silver and one bronze medals from major international Olympiads.

The Russian national team was headed by Professor of the Biology Department of the Lomonosov Moscow State University Alexander Rubtsov. The deputy heads of the team were: Galina Belyakova (Associate Professor of the Biology Department of the Lomonosov Moscow State University), Evgeny Shilov (Senior Lecturer of the Biology Department of the Lomonosov Moscow State University), Dmitry Fedorov (Specialist in Educational and Methodological Work of the Moscow Center for Pedagogical Excellence).
About 300 schoolchildren from 77 countries took part in the competition. The practical round tested the children's ability to solve biological problems using laboratory methods and skills. The theoretical round provided an opportunity to assess the level of mastery of theoretical material, the ability to analyze it and apply it in practice. The schoolchildren completed the Olympiad tasks at the Ateneo de Manila University.
The IBO has been held annually since 1990 and brings together participants from more than 70 countries. In 2024, Russian schoolchildren won (HTTPS: //ed.gov.ru/Press/8674/dwe-gold-and-two-serebi-medal-Medali-Russian-schoolboy-school-well-biological-Olympiad) there were four medals at the competition: two gold and two silver.
