European Economics Olympiad
About the European Economics Olympiad
The European Economics Olympiad (EEO) was established in 2016 by the Institute of Economic Education (INEV) – a non-profit organization in Czech Republic. Throughout the years, it has become the biggest economics and finance competition in Czech Republic and Slovakia and expanded to other European countries with over 30,000 students and more than 550 schools taking part each year. The EEO aims to fill the gap in teaching economics and finance at high schools, and strengthen the skills of adolescents in logical thinking, problem-solving and critical thinking, spark their interest and support them on their career path.
