2013


CONVENTION


In November 2013, EUSA and the organisers of the 2nd European


Universities Games organised a EUSA Convention in Rotterdam,


the Netherlands – the host city of the Games in 2014.


The two-day event focused on the
preparation for the upcoming European
Universities Games, with discussions
revolving around the sports programme,
accommodation, catering, transport,
security, volunteers, communication and
promotion. Side events and other event-
related topics were discussed in smaller
working groups.


Following presentations on each specific
sport included in the Games’ programme,
EUSA representatives presented the
association and its structure, history,
activities and future programme as well
as technical information involving each of
the sports featuring at the following year’s
Games, which was discussed in more
detail in smaller groups.

Technical Delegates of each sport were
then able to discuss specific information
with the sports managers present and
visit the venues of the sports competitions
in Rotterdam, while the EUSA Medical
Commission was also able to gather and
discuss various topics relating to the
Games, including medical services, cater-
ing and hygiene.
