Competition Main Features and Events

      The Beaver competition was born in Lithuania, by an idea of Prof. Valentina Dagiene.
The first Bebras contest was organized in Lithuania in 2004.

      One of Valentina Dagiene's goals was to establish Bebras as an international initiative. Since its beginnings, several European countries have joined Bebras, and other countries from all over the world declared their interest in the idea, too.

       The number of the countries taking part in the international "Bebras" competition is growing with the time and are today more than 20. To have the updated list of the nations working in the competition look at the international site http://www.bebras.org/
