While PHOCOS and WRICOS are successfully implemented, these events make Silk-Road university students experience about Silk-Road and grow up with outputs related to Silk-Road. In addition to these 2 events, Silk-Road Universities Network (SUN) has decided to hold the debate competition for SUN’s students as an annual event. This debate contest could be named DECOS (Debate Contest of SUN).
DECOS aims to develop and demonstrate SUN’s students’ skills, as well as gain new competencies and improve their knowledge in aspects regarding multiculturalism, economic development, and, undoubtedly, the Silk-Road which its origins and relevance in the international horizon.
The DECOS procedure will be progressed in this way. First, each member universities will have a pre-competition to organize the team entering the international competition. Secondly, each selected team applies for DECOS (Application deadline will be announced soon.). Then participating students will be gathered at the University of Bucharest in Romania and the Main Event will be progressed.
