Apart from the competitions,
the participants also took part
in various workshops during
the Championships with
specialised topics helping them
better prepare both mentally
and physically while enriching
their overall experiences
at the events. The AUSF
Championships are therefore
not only a pathway to promote
sporting excellence, but also a
platform to enhance learning,
sharing and communication.

AUSF will be organising a
number of different sporting
championships across
2020, among them the first
Bodybuilding and Fitness
Championship taking place in
Pattaya, Thailand in March,
as well as the first Tchoukball
Championship, which will be
held in Singapore in July.

FISU-NUSF Seminar

As the core project of both
FISU and AUSF, the biennial 2nd
FISU-NUSF Seminar was held in
Chinese Taipei from September
20-21.

The theme of the Seminar
was “Media and Sports
Development” and attracted

over 50 participants in the field

of sports management and

media from Asia, Europe and

Oceania. The high-level Seminar

provided not only an occasion

for knowledge dissemination

and sharing, but it was also an

opportunity for networking and

experience sharing on project/

event management in the

forms of plenary sessions and

concurrent workshops.

IDUS Celebrations

During the fourth instalment of

IDUS in 2019, several NUSFs

across Asia including China,

Nepal, Singapore, Mongolia,

Iran, the Philippines and Chinese

Taipei celebrated IDUS at

various university campuses in

an effort to echo the message of

this inspiring initiative.

In addition, AUSF together with

the Chinese Taipei University

Sports Federation hosted

IDUS celebration activities

in conjunction with the first

Asian University Badminton

Championship and 2019 FISU-

NUSF Seminar. Through the

activities, the participants better

understood the philosophy,

concept and objective of IDUS

while enjoying the festive

atmosphere, with many

declaring they would bring

the ideas back to their home

countries/regions. The events

inspired many to strive to

promote university sports and

influence more people to take

up sports and adopt a healthier

lifestyle.

Bilateral Cooperation

Over 2019, ties were

strengthened between AUSF

and EUSA through regular

exchanges of visits. Such

collaborations not only improve

communication between the

federations, but also enhance

the friendship among the

member federations of AUSF

and EUSA. EUSA delegates and

EUSA members are warmly

welcome to attend the 11th

AUSF General Assembly and 3rd

FISU-AUSF Strategic Dialogue

to be held in 2020.

FISU Executive

Committee Election

Through concerted efforts of

all Asian members and the

generous support of our fellow

friends from all over the world,

eight delegates from Asia were

elected into the FISU Executive

Committee for the term 2019-

2023, including Mr Zhen Shen

from China as Vice President.

The result of the election is not

only an honour for Asia but also

a heavy responsibility, which

will inspire them to work much

harder for the development of

university sports across the

world.
