The biggest event for young students with a special interest in science in the European Union is the European Union Science Olympiad. It is a scientific competition for EU secondary school science students who are 16 years of age.
Since 2003, the EUSO has been hold every year; the number of countries taking part has increased ever since. Students from 22 countries adid participate at EUSO 2012 in Vilnius.
Luxembourg is very proud to be the host of the 11th EUSO. We are expecting 25 countries from the 17th to the 25th of March 2013. About 150 students and 90 mentors and observers are going to come to Luxembourg and we hope they will have a memorable week and will leave with good impressions of our small country.
The participating students will have to solve problems during two practical tests, these tests will be organized at the laboratories of the University of Luxembourg. The problems will be created by the scientific committee of EUSO 2013.
