BIC adopted the European final in 2019 as part of its Education Programme and has mobilised BIC members and the States Representatives Group to expand the programme across Europe. The European final will take place in two rounds in conjunction with an international BIC event in October. The winners will receive a substantial package of prizes, including support and a full-year complementary BIC membership.
