Moscow Open 2019

6 December 2019

November 30 - December 1, 2019, with the support of the MGIMO Endowment, an international tournament on the British parliamentary debate Moscow Open 2019 was held. This event has been held by the Debate Club at MGIMO for the past sixteen years, and this year it was attended by over 150 people from 13 countries, including participants, judges, volunteers and spectators.

The judges at the tournament were the best debaters in the world, who repeatedly proved their class: the judiciary included representatives from the Netherlands, Finland and Poland. This puts the tournament on a par with the leading world tournaments and is of great importance for MGIMO as a venue for international events. The importance and relevance of the tournament is underlined by the fact that the victory was won by a team with the participation of MGIMO student Dmitry Nilov (FUP 4).
