About the Competition

The main goal of the Slovak history competition “EUSTORY” is to stimulate young people in Slovakia to get a critical and independent look at their country´s history. In addition, the history competition is an opportunity to test one´s own study and research capabilities, to know the country´s history more deeply, but also to meet other people devoted to history to share views and experiences with them. Moreover the history competition helps to establish an informal “national historical network” bringing together students, teachers and scientists. The competition addresses secondary school pupils (15-18 age range). The research papers should be written in Slovak language and should not contain more than 25 pages.
