This fantastic “HSE Open” challenge, will be held by the Higher School of Economics in Moscow and will be chaired by the one and only: Michael Shapira, ESL World Champion 201. Not only that, contributing will be Christine Simpson (EUDC finals 2012) and Alex Rabinovich (President of the Manchester Debating Union 2011/12).

Accommodation is centrally located and even better is free of charge, right next to the metro station Studencheskaya, which is easily reachable and simple to find. At our discretion, we are able to offer visa invitations to those who require that give allowance of few extra days than necessary, to enable you to travel and further learn about this great nation. Beyond the competition itself, you will be able to participate freely in a dynamic mix of social and educational events such as: forums, round tables and socials. After a challenging day of debating, you’ll have the opportunity to experience the mysteries Moscow provides, sightsee and visit the eventful, astonishing and surprising nightlife while warming your bones at the open bar!
