What is the IEO OpenTrack?
The goal of the OpenTrack is to offer an alternative way of participation in the International Economics Olympiad on less demanding terms to a wider audience. OpenTrack contestants participate in three main rounds of the IEO: Economics, Financial Literacy, and the Business Case.
The activities are exactly the same as the ones proposed for the MainTrack.
The activities are exactly the same as the ones proposed for the MainTrack.
OpenTrack contestants compete independently from the MainTrack contestants, and have their own scoring and normalization.
The OpenTrack was created mainly for the purposes of popularization of knowledge: to provide access to the IEO to a wider audience, help disseminate knowledge of Economics, provide new experiences and a community of like-minded people.
