The Debate League of the University of Barcelona, to be held at the Aula Magna of the Historical Building, is a fun and training competition in which the teams, formed by university students from different studies of the University and led by a captain, face a set of debates revolving around current affairs, proposed by the organization. This yearʼs edition counts with the registration of 8 teams, formed by students of the Faculty of Mathematics, Geography and History, Economics and Business, Law, Physics, Psychology, who will play in groups of 2-5 people, in eliminatory phases with random matching-ups. This year, the topic for the eliminatory phases (“Should Internet be limited?) is fixed, unlike in other editions, following the academic debate model most used in university competitions.
