Seven university teams and a guest team of disabled students attended the contest. The competition was very high. The teams from Kyrgyzstan International University and Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University won the gold medal, securing the same points. The Kyrgyzstan-Turkey Manas University team came the second while Mahmud Kashgari-Barskani Eastern University won the third slot. The contesting students were given presents by the Dialogue Eurasia Platform.
