examples.
At the 2006 EUSA Seminar, which was
held together with that year’s general
assembly in Valencia, Spain, the keynote
speakers stressed the important relation-
ship between University, Tourism and
Sport. The second edition of the EUSA
Convention for organisers of the European
Universities Championships 2007 was
also organised in Valencia with participa-
tion from EUSA representatives, Technical
Delegates and representatives from the
Organising Committees.
The Russian Student Sports Union hosted

September 27 to 30, 2007 in Moscow,
Russia where more than 30 participants
from ten European countries exchanged
their experience of the organisation of
student sports in their countries.
In July 2007, EUSA helped co-organise
the International Seminar on University
Sport that was held in Ljubljana, Slove-
nia. The event was organised under the
patronage of FISU in cooperation with the
University of Ljubljana and the Slovenian
University Sports Association. Around 50
participants discussed the topic “The new
FISU – The role of Europe and Continen-
tal University Sports Federations”. The
FISU General Assembly, held prior to the

Bangkok, had brought significant changes
to the development of the continental
federations, with the FISU Executive
Committee also including Continental
University Sports Federations delegates.

Mr George Killian, the General Assembly
decided to financially support continental
activities and projects as well.Forty-five representatives from the

cussed included Medical Terms and the
Student Volunteer Programme during
Championship events.In 2009, the 6th EUSA Symposium was
