Basque Center for Applied Mathematics - BCAM collaborates in the organisation of the "Incubator of surveys and experiments" competition organised by the Department of Mathematics of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) with the collaboration of the Basque Institute of Statistics (Eustat). The competition is aimed at students of Secundary School, Baccalaureate and Intermediate Level Training Cycles from Basque schools.

The prizes were awarded on 16 and 17 June and these have been the winners:
