Today, 7 February 2022, the second test of the European Statistics Competition begins. From the 323 teams that started after the registration period, 77 teams remain after the first online test. After the first test, only the 20 best teams per degree and per language community, which also achieved more than 50%, were selected for the second test.

Those 77 teams will now take on the challenge of producing a video using official statistics as source material. This year's theme: "What do official statistics tell you about the environment in your country?"

The videos will be judged by a regional and a national jury. The four best teams (two per grade) will advance to the European phase, competing against other European pupils of their age.

We wish all teams good luck in this final phase! From 21 April up to and including 2 May, you can vote for your favourite video. Keep an eye on the website or Facebook page for an update.
