Team training
April 15th and 16th brought two fun days full of team tasks, bonding, and honing some experimental skills. Zagreb here we come!
Round 3
Round 3 of IrEOES 2024-2025 took place on the Glasnevin campus of Dublin City University on the 16th and 17th of January, 2025. We had great fun, as always, during training. It was hard to separate the top two students in each subject, but in the end we selected Marné, Prayag, Rowan, Tobi, Xelaya, and YuHan to represent Ireland at EOES2025.
