WUDC 2013: 11 Indonesian Teams Ready for Berlin Worlds

TU Berlin - Venue of WUDC 2013

Eleven teams from Indonesia will be part of the 800 debaters from all around the globe who are going to compete in the 2013 World Universities Debating Championships in Berlin this week. Some of them have WUDC experience while some have never debated abroad before. One team --Cindy Fransisca & Davin Susanto from Universitas Atma Jaya-- will debate under the name "Dikti Indonesia", the government unit that is sponsoring them. No Indonesian team has broken into the main WUDC elimination stage.

The highest an Indonesian team could reach was #85 in 1999. Since the introduction of ESL/EFL categories in WUDC, 11 Indonesian teams, 8 of them from Universitas Indonesia, have broken into the knockouts of these secondary levels.

Indonesia's WUDC 2013 teams that want to change those numbers are as follows:

Binus International (Invi Atmanegara & Jaran Walia)

Binus University (Rosmiyana & Sabarudin Adinugroho)

Dikti Indonesia (Cindy Fransisca & Davin Susanto)

Institut Pertanian Bogor (Devi Fitri Yani & Gideon Satria)

Institut Teknologi Bandung (Kirana Kania & Jane Revevalin)
Universitas Gadjah Mada (Erwina Salsabila & Novelisa Wirid)

Universitas Indonesia (Dimas Hokka & Riza Aryani)

Universitas Mulawarman (Khairunisa & Mensel Santoso)

Universitas Musamus (Desy Eva Laila & Hastuti Dwi Virgita)

Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (Niki Septy & Retno Rahma Safitri)

Universitas Padjadjaran (Dimas Aditya & M. Erfan Supradhono)
