The Hungarian Economic Association, together with its organizing partners – the Czech INEV, the Magyar Nemzeti Bank, the Money Museum and the Money Compass Foundation – will organize the 2024-25 school year of the Economics Olympiad. The competition is open to students from secondary schools from all over the country. To register, please use the form available at https://forms.gle/Uoh9PesHYfZDm3VW8. The deadline for applications is midnight 31 January 2025!
The competition will start with a written online round between 24 and 28 February 2025, and at the end of March 2025, students will compete in a two-round national final – written and oral – in Budapest. The best students in the national final are expected to compete in an international final in English in Greece in September 2025! The best students in the national and international finals will of course win valuable prizes. As a mark of the prestige of the event, Nobel-lauterant economist Tom Sargent was the main patron of the 2020 international final and sent a special video message to the finalists.
Attention! At many Hungarian universities, placing 1st-3rd in the international final of the Economics Olympiad is worth extra points in the admission process!
