ForumThe annual International Forum is one of the best

ways to obtain a greater multicultural vision, global

perspective and multidisciplinary of the university

and academic world.

Seminars on various cultural topics and an

international academic competition are some of the

activities which enable the students to learn about a

variety of academic areas and take a broader view at

the time of choosing their studies.

Evaluation criteriaThroughout the selections phases, and until the fi nal

presentation, the teams will be evaluated on the

following criteria:

1. Scientifi c rigor,taking into account the following:

• Argument

• Sources and Documentation

• Coherence of discourse

(or the script in the case of a video)

2. Quality of the presentation,taking into account the following:

• Message

• Quality of discourse

(or the script in the case of a video)

• Visual quality

3. Answers to the questions proposed by the judges.

* Note: Because today the English language is an indispensable tool

in the professional world, as well as in the university, and given that

the activities are aimed at students from different countries, these

activities are conducted entirely in English.

What is the

OOUN? The OOUN (University

Advisory Offi ce of the

University of Navarra)

was created ten years

ago to offer assistance to students in their fi nal year of high school and fi rst year

of university. Its main

objective is to orientate

the students toward

a particular fi eld of study and introduce

them to dynamic

university life.

We want students to

have a higher level of awareness and understanding of the university body, which

consists of study, clubs and extracurricular activities, combined

with research and

refl ection on the

subjects studied. We

hope these goals will

make the students

better prepared

and ready to apply

themselves in the years

to come.
