mobility through exchanges
between professors/students of
foreign universities.

Moreover, the University of
Salerno is also a protagonist
in sports, having made its
sports facilities and university
residences available for the
fencing competitions of the
2019 Universiade in close
collaboration with CUS
SALERNO, as well as having
hosted a part of the athletes
participating in the Universiade
of Naples 2019 at the university
residences of the Campus in
Fisciano. Today, it is promptly
working hard for the creation of
new venues, 4-6 PADEL courts
for the organization of the 2026
European Universities Games.

What is the Mission of the
2026 Games?

Is to widen the
internationalisation of the
University of Salerno, to
create interaction and cultural
exchange not only among
European university students,
who through their different
life experiences will favour
the individual growth of the
participating university students,
but also of the citizens of the

entire territory on which the

University of Salerno has been

focusing. For us, sport is the

place where ethnic differences

peacefully confront each other,

in compliance with the rules

and athletes gain experience for

personal growth.

LEGACY OF EUG 2026

Culturally: To raise in the

new generations of European

University students, in the

tough historical period we are

experiencing today, through

the EUSA and the games, the

awareness of the need for the

psychophysical well-being of

the individual. More importantly,

to grow the values of “sharing”,

“inclusion”, “integration”,

acting as a catalyst in the

growth of relations among

all the participating European

Universities.

Physically: To build new

residences for students, to build

new Sport Venues (Paddle)

for the whole university

community, to build venues for

the event which will be able

to subsequently benefit the

resident students, the local

citizens, consequently improving

their quality of life in the future

and therefore to develop, in

the local people, a favourable

attitude to the visibility of the

EUG 2026.

For this edition, we plan to

implement, where possible,

the guidelines that the

European community has

adopted regarding sustainable

development, energy saving,

the progressive digitisation

of services and the energy

transition.

In this extraordinary scenario

we plan to organize a series of

events relating to integration

and inclusion, encouraging

participation by children,

students and disadvantaged

people. For such reason, we

have decided to introduce

“sitting volleyball” and

the “show dance”, perfect

combination between students

and able-bodied people and

students and non-abled people,

in a single physical space, and

in a single sport. In addition,

we are willing to organize a

series of socio-cultural events

in favour of the students of

the participating European

universities to further promote

integration and inclusion among

the students themselves.The

Campania Region, the province

of Salerno, the city of Salerno,

the University of Salerno and

CUS Salerno are pleased to host

the students of the European

Universities from July 18th to

August 1st 2026, in Salerno, for

the EUG 2026 in 15 sports with

around 1000 committed student

volunteers.

The Organizing Committee

intends to create a European

Call among European University

students for the identification

of a mascot which translates

the spirit of community of the

games.

The Organizing Committee

also intends to create, where

possible, a European tender

among European university

students for the creation of a

song/dance that can summarize

the slogan of the EUG 2026

and the spirit of brotherhood,

inclusion and integration, which

represent the primary purpose

of the EUG 2026.
