The "Grand Prix Chimique" is a contest for European students attending a professional Laboratory education. In every country there are national qualifying rounds for the selection of the International "Grand Prix Chimique" participants. Quite naturally the contestants will "go  for gold", but the social aspect has always been to meet colleagues from other countries.

In 199l the Grand Prix Chimique was organized for the first time in Stuttgart, Germany. The initiative was taken by Mr. W. Flad as the 40th anniversary celebration of the "Chemisches Institut Dr. Flad". The first president of the International Jury was Dr. Wolfgang Flad (Germany), the second is Prof. Alfred Mathis (France).
