European Union Contest for Young Scientists (EUCYS) 2022
The European Union Contest for Young Scientists is a science competition for 14 to 20 year olds. It brings together first prize winners of national science contests for pre-Higher Education Institution school science projects to compete for prizes and awards.

The jury award 1st, 2nd and 3rd monetary prizes as well as other prestigious prizes donated to the contest by international research organisations and other similar bodies.
