IES Ortega y Gasset from Madrid wins the 15th edition of Generation €uro Students’ Award!
The Generation €uro Students’ Award seeks to shed light on the workings of Eurosystem monetary policy and its role in ensuring price stability.
It is an annual competition for upper secondary and intermediate vocational training students. It was first held during the 2011-12 academic year, launched by the European Central Bank (ECB) and eleven euro area national central banks.
Since then, the Banco de España has taken charge of organising the contest in Spain.
