Senan Hogan, 28 Jan
The Central Bank of Ireland is searching for Ireland’s brightest young
economists and is encouraging local students across Kildare to enter
the Generation €uro schools competition.
Generation €uro is Ireland’s leading economics competition for
Transition Year and Fifth Year students. The competition is run by the
Central Bank of Ireland in partnership with the European Central Bank
(ECB).
The winning team and teacher will travel to the ECB in Frankfurt for an
award ceremony where they will meet ECB President Christine Lagarde and
the other winning teams from across Europe.
Director of Economics and Statistics at the Central Bank, Robert Kelly
said: “We are really looking forward to this year’s Generation Euro
competition and to hearing from students around Ireland. Ireland’s next
generation of social scientists, the people who will work in Ireland,
Europe and across the globe making decisions, setting policies that
affect our daily lives, are in school right now, and we want to meet
them. The competition gives students the chance to build valuable life
skills while challenging themselves to learn more about the work
performed by the European Central Bank, the Eurosystem and the Central
Bank of Ireland.”
Students can enter the competition by 3 February on our website, in
teams of three to five, with a teacher acting as mentor.
The competition finalists will present their findings to a panel of
senior economists from the Central Bank before a national winner is
announced.
