The international student meet-up Copenhagen Competition will this year take place in the context of a serious real world background: Competitors will try to draft an agreement at the same time as professional diplomatic representatives which will gather in Copenhagen for the Global Green Growth Forum (3GF).<\/p>\n
The Copenhagen Competition, hosted by the University of Copenhagen, gathers seven different teams from all the continents, this year to negotiate an agreement liberalizing the trade of one green energy technology. On the last day of the three day competition, four teams who have been selected by a jury composed of a legal expert, a top negotiator and a science expert will remain.<\/p>\n
The team’s written responses will be collected in a booklet to be distributed at 3GF, where the winner will be chosing by the Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt. <\/p>\n
For the first time, teams will be composed of both ‘hard’ science and ‘soft’ science students. The UCPH team is composed of two law students, Amanda Elizabeth Rischel and Sebastian Meyer Peters, and a Forest and Nature management student, Helge Raakj\u00e6r Frost.<\/p>\n
Each team represents a fictional state in the negotiation and each of them propose one item of particular importance to liberalize. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t officially represent Denmark even though our fictional country has all its characteristics\u201d, states Sebastian, \u201ctherefore we decided to name it Hafnia which is the latin name of Copenhagen and our product will be wind turbines\u201d. <\/p>\n
Comparable exotic names will be given by the competitors from other universities to their own countries: Australia, Spain, Ethiopia, Israel, South Africa and Singapore, <\/p>\n
The ‘hard science’ competitors bring specific data related to the proposed product and the eventual impact of it on the environment. However, the point is more about the impact of a product without entering into technical matters underlines Helge, who is the ‘hard science’ guy on the team. <\/p>\n
Copenhagen Competition: What happens at the negotiation table stays at the negotiation table.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
For the ‘soft science’ students, law is the backbone of the competition, and negotiation skills are the key to success. On that point, the University of Copenhagen has provided the local team with advisors, and has coached them to be fit for the diplomatic custom and tradition of international summits.<\/p>\n
Long-term teamwork<\/h2>\n
\u201cWe decided to attend this competition in December 2013 and we had to write down a complete application (which has now been published) to pass the written round and be selected for the oral part of the competition.\u201d recalls Amanda.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has been hard to cope with this competition, but the University and our work on it has definitely been worth it,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
The competition is an intensive team work challenge at two levels, according to the participants. Inside the team, they have to find ideas and develop a comprehensive mutli-disciplinary project. The teams then have to reach an agreement. The result may be creative as the competitors are not binded by national political issues compared to the on-going discussion at the 3GForum.<\/p>\n
Whoever the winner may be<\/h2>\n
Dealing with serious stuff does not prevent students from having a good time together. What happens at the negotiation table stays at the negotiation table.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have planned to go out with the international students after the competition and have a good time with them, whoever the winner is,\u201d says Helge with a determined tone of voice. <\/p>\n
Hopefully the UCPH team will have a lot to celebrate!<\/p>\n
