NATIONAL PHASE OF CONTEST

Incubator of Surveys and Experiments

For Students of Secondary Education, High School and Training Cycles

In recent years, various regional competitions have been launched in different parts of Spain with similar characteristics and which could be grouped under the label of “Incubator of Surveys and Experiments”. These competitions are aimed at students of compulsory secondary education, high school and training cycles, who participate by presenting a statistical work. The main objective of these initiatives is to awaken in students the curiosity for statistics as a fundamental tool in research, both in experimental sciences and in social sciences. The SEIO has been aware of the different local phases of the “Incubator of Surveys and Experiments” competitions since its inception and considers the high number of students participating in them very positively.

The Society for Statistics and Operations Research (SEIO) is aware of the importance that these disciplines have today as academic training subjects and tools for decision-making in public, private and business environments, as well as the importance they have learning these subjects in non-university education.

The SEIO coordinator of the Contest Incubator of Surveys and Experiments is Prof. María Jesús García-Ligero (University of Granada).
