The Italian Statistics Competition has begun, an event organised by the Italian Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) and the Italian Statistics Society in collaboration with the Ministry of Education. For a week, more than 3000 highschool students will contend the first place and the winner will go to the next phase, the European Statistics competition (ESC) organised by Eurostat.

The main objectives of this event are to promote curiosity and interest in statistics among students and to show the role of statistics to students and teachers in various aspects of society. GARR will make sure that the competition takes place at its best by providing its top-grade infrastructures and cloud resurces.
