The Diplôme d'études en langue française (Diploma in French Language Studies), or DELF for short, is a certification of French language abilities for non-native speakers of French. The certification is administered by the International Centre for French Studies (CIEP) for France's Ministry of Education. It is comprised of four independent diplomas corresponding to the first four levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: A1, A2, B1 and B2. Annually, there are around 400,000 enrollments in more than 1,150 examination centers in 174 countries, actively participate in the promotion of the French language. the world. The examinations are available in three varieties: "DELF Prim" which is for Primary school students (only available at A1 level), "DELF Junior et Scolaire" which is for at secondary-school aged students and "DELF Tous Publics" which focuses in adults. Each variety is worth precisely the same and results in the awarding of the same diploma. However, the material is varied to ensure that it is appropriate for the target cohort. DELF certificates are valid for life and do not expire.

The International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO) is an annual academic competition for high school students. It is one of the International Science Olympiads. This year the event is held in Paris, France. The delegations that attended the first events were mostly countries of the former Eastern bloc and it was not until 1980, the 12th annual International Chemistry Olympiad, that the event was held outside of the bloc in Austria. Up to 4 students for each national team compete around July in both a theoretical and an experimental sections, with about half of the participants being awarded medals. Each delegation comprises of up to four students and two mentors (one of them is appointed as the head of the delegation or "head mentor"). A delegation may also include guests and scientific observers. Students must be under the age of 20 and must not be enrolled as regular students in any post-secondary education institution. The International Information Center of the International Chemistry Olympiad is based in Bratislava, Slovakia. Any country who wishes to participate in the IChO must send observers to two consecutive olympiads before their students can participate in the event. The competition involves two examinations, both a theoretical and practical examination. Both have durations of up to 5 hours, and are held on separate days. Each examination is evaluated independently from the other and the total of the results determines a participant's overall outcome. A scientific jury, which is installed by the host country will suggests the task. There is an international jury which consists of the two mentors from each of the participating countries. Their role is discussing the competition tasks and translating them into the language of their students' preference. For more information visit the official website here .
