OKPV – National Secondary School Problem Solving Contest

OKPV is a program for high school students that gives them an insight into the world of future academic case competitions. The task is problem solving of course, but the participants have to take on a historical figure’s character and make decisions with their minds. OKPV in 2017 is currently the fourth competition in a row in cooperation with Mathias Corvinus Collegium. With additional help from the Problema Solvenda Foundation, the competition is held in Slovenia, Romania and Ukraine as well.
