The European Union Science Olympiad (EUSO), named European Olympiad of Experimental Science (EOES) since 2021, is a team-based science competition for the European Union's (EU) students to display their capabilities in natural sciences. The annual EUSO was founded in 2003 by Dr. Michael A. Cotter of Dublin, Ireland. It includes only EU member countries. The competition is open to second-level-school, or secondary school, science students who are 18 years of age or younger prior to the competition. Each participating country sends two three-student teams who compete in two intellectually challenging and collaborative tasks. The tasks are designed to connect the branches of science, provide relevant and inquiry-based challenges, engage all team members, support self-pacing, prompt higher-order and creative thinking, and encourage substantive communication.[1]
This section needs to be updated. The reason given is: EUSO was renamed to European Olympiad of Experimental Science (EOES) since 2021. Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information.(March 2024)
The EUSO was founded in 2003 by Dr. Michael A. Cotter, of Dublin, Ireland, who aimed to create a more practical-based general science competition for young EU students.[1]

The Treaty of Accession 2003 was the agreement between the member states of the European Union and ten countries, concerning these countries' accession into the EU. At the same time it changed a number of points which were originally laid down in the Treaty of Nice. The treaty was signed on 16 April 2003 in Athens, Greece and it entered into force on 1 May 2004, resulting in enlargement of the European Union with 10 states.
Europe, the westernmost portion of Eurasia, is often divided into regions and subregions based on geographical, cultural or historical factors. Since there is no universal agreement on Europe's regional composition, the placement of individual countries may vary based on criteria being used. For instance, the Balkans is a distinct geographical region within Europe, but individual countries may alternatively be grouped into South-eastern Europe or Southern Europe.
