In recent years, Carlos III University of Madrid has established itself as a leader in national debate, thanks to the high caliber of our teams as well as the meticulous organization of our National Debate Tournament, which is part of the Spanish University Debate League (LEDU) circuit.
In this context, we are pleased to organize a high school debate tournament for students in the 3rd and 4th years of ESO and the 1st and 2nd years of Bachillerato, where they can demonstrate, through their teams, the talents and skills they possess in this discipline.
The 12th UC3M High School Debate Tournament will be held on February 4 and 5, 2027.
