Students shared their impressions.

Irina Suhanova, 3^rd year student:

“The game was really great, especially the variety of tasks (creative question about Sberbank!), the atmosphere in the room, team work and of course our victory. Thank you for this opportunity!”

Roméo Arosteguy-Cuignet, KEDGE-GSEM UrFU double degree student:

“It was a pleasure to participate. What stroke me most was to manage teamwork in a very delimited time. Then, when we succeeded to find right answers we were very proud because we needed to think a lot in a very short time and that's challenging!”

Tristan Riault, KEDGE-GSEM UrFU double degree student:

“I found the brainbattle very interesting. The questions were not always easy and we did not have a lot of time to answer them but the fact of having created an international team with Russian and French allowed us to combine our knowledge in order to have the better answer as possible”.

Armand Garcin, KEDGE-GSEM UrFU double degree student:

“First of all, I wanted to thank our teacher for the organisation of this great event.Secondly, at the beginning of the brain battle the music was a really good idea, it made a great atmosphere before the game (have chosen a good playlist..Thirdly, the questions were really interesting and asked people to think and search within their knowledge of the course and their own sources. But some of them were quite tricky, for example, about the countries which are not in EU and use the euro. Globally this game was a successful event! You should do it again in the future!”
