The following are the guidelines to submitting an entry to the ESSS:
- First, pupils should submit their project to a teacher of their own school which will be their tutor.
- The tutor(s) will forward the project abstracts to the school’s ESSS coordinator who will decide (after discussion with tutors if needed) which projects will be submitted to the symposium.
- Each school can submit a maximum of 3 projects plus 1 reserve.
- Please send a separate entry form for each project by filling the asked Forms provided by the organizers.
- Projects will be grouped according to pupils’ year level:
- Junior Projects: Years 1 – 4
- Senior Projects: Years 5 – 7
- Projects may be submitted by an individual or a group of maximum 3 students.
- A project will be judged as a senior project if at least one member of the group is in years 5 – 7.
- Please send the abstracts and Reports to the email address provided by the organizers.
- Each participating school needs to provide us with the names of up to 2 people to whom we will give the rights to submit the abstracts and reports. Please send these names to our coordinator (see Contact)

- The deadlines for the submission of entries to this year’s ESSS can – be found under “ESSS 2025 – Important information – Deadlines”.
- Acceptance of projects will be communicated directly to the schools.
- All students must present their findings in 3 formats for the symposium itself:
- A written report
- A poster presentation
- An oral presentation
- Schools are encouraged to aim for high standards of work, and to organize their own in-house competition in order to select the best entries. The quality of the project is the fundamental criterium of the qualification of the project.
- The project tutors should mainly guide their students in their project and not help them to much while writing their report. They should mainly focus on writing errors and not on the content.
