To win this prize, these students had to go through two stages: the first one was an initialdiscussion on 'Los padres pueden delegar la educación de sus hijos en el Estado?', followed by a final discussion, in which the two teams that had reached the final debated on nuclear energy as the only alternative to energy dependency in Spain. In addition, the student Mikel Ruiz came third as Best Speaker. Along with the winning team, the University of Deusto took part in this competition with another two teams.
Year after year, the issues under discussion are devoted tocurrent national and international topics. Thus, apart from the topics discussed by the Deusto winning team, other topics included: 'La ley Antitabaco invade la intimidad de las personas?' ; 'El desarrollo tecnológico aísla al ser humano?, o 'Opinión pública frente a opinión publicada: Los medios de comunicación cumplen su función social de informar?'.
Since this National League of University Debate was started seven years ago, the University of Deusto has participated in these competitions every year, and obtained the Research Award three times.
