sport is not only the foundation
of a healthy society, but also
contributes to the development
of the infrastructure and
the economy, advances the
reputation of the settlement and
promotes tourism”.
“Two Universities, One
Aim”
With a history of over four and
a half centuries, the University
of Debrecen is Hungary’s oldest
institute of higher education
continuously operating in the
same town.
The predecessor of the
University of Miskolc is the
educational institution of mining
and metallurgy, founded in
Selmecbánya (today’s Banská
Štiavnica) in 1735, where
advanced technical knowledge
was first educated in the world.
Nowadays 40 thousand
students study at the two
universities, at 14 faculties in
Debrecen and at 8 faculties in
Miskolc. Both universities have
outstanding education, research,
and innovation capacities,
as well as academic results
recognised also in international
terms, on the basis of which
they play an important role in
achieving objectives of national
strategy as well.
They also undertake roles in the
development of the economic
and sports life of Hungary. The
continuous development of the
two universities and the meeting
of challenges brought along a
marked presence in economic
and sport developments, in
innovation and on the market as
service providers.With their experiences and
network of relationships,
the two universities are well
prepared to undertake the tasks
of organising and hosting the
European Universities Games,
and to accommodate the best
Games ever.“Why Together?”
Education and sports are the
two major foundations of human
and social development. The
cities of Debrecen and Miskolc,
as well as their respective
universities, lead the way in both
areas.While Miskolc is one of the most
important Hungarian centres of
fine arts and theatre, Debrecen
was a school town of Protestant
roots, where literature and
contemporary arts dominate.The academic structures of
the two universities cover
fundamentally different areas
of life, with engineering and
law dominating in Miskolc andnatural sciences and humanities
in Debrecen.Both cities and universities have
successful individual athletes
and teams with outstanding
results and devote much
attention and resources to the
education of the next generation
of athletes in every area.EUG 2024 will provide strong
support for further development
of both cities and enhance the
significance and popularity of
Hungarian and international
university sports, while
emphasising sustainability, as
well as spectacular and novel
elements.Through identifying the
differences and building upon
the synergies of the two cities,
they undertake to organise
the best European Universities
Games ever.“EUG 2024 Vision”
Exemplary cooperation between
the two universities and two
cities should contribute to the
development of the region.EUG 2024 should contribute
to the development of the
university sports movement,
local communities, and
international relations.Everyone involved should enjoy
the event as a sports festival,which will be the celebration of
the European universities’ sports.By applying smart and green
solutions sustainability goals
should be achieved throughout
the project lifecycle involving all
actors.Volunteers involved in the
implementation of the
project should gain valuable
professional experience and
opportunity to develop their
individual competencies, and
possibly become future sports
leaders.Planned Sport Disciplines- 3X3 Basketball
