The European Schools’ Science Symposium (ESSS) is an annual competition open to students from years 1 to 7 of Type1 and Accredited European Schools. Individuals or groups of students, guided by a teacher-mentor, are encouraged to explore an area of scientific interest of their choice, not normally covered by the European Schools’ science syllabus.

Projects fall broadly into two types:

• Scientific Investigations
• Engineering/Design projects

The projects will be showcased during the symposium and judged by teachers and subject experts. Prizes will be awarded for the best projects. Juniors and seniors will be judged separately.

The overall winning project in the senior category will represent the European Schools at the European Union Contest for Young Scientists (EUCYS) later in the year.
