FISU-EUSA SEMINAR


The very first edition of the FISU-EUSA Seminar took place in Kranjska


Gora, Slovenia in April, gathering representatives from the Federation of


International University Sport (FISU), and various EUSA members and


staff to discuss a wide variety of topics in relation to university sport.


Following the opening addresses, the
programme began with a presentation of
FISU’s strategy and activities, followed by
a presentation on EUSA’s activities and
projects.


A roundtable discussion regarding the
legacy of university sports events and
their impact rounded off the first day’s
proceedings.


The following day began with various
presentations regarding funding opportu-
nities in university sport and non-financial
support services, where the audience was
then divided into smaller groups to further


discuss and then share their observations
and opinions on the presented topics.

Two separate workshops took place in the
afternoon addressing volunteering and so-
cial responsibility through sport, and again
smaller groups were formed to discuss
and expand on the topics further.

The final day began with a panel discus-
sion regarding management of university
sport events, before the final session
which was in the form of two paral-
lel workshops: one discussed the ideas
and plans for IDUS (International Day of
University Sport) 2019, while the other

discussed media coverage at university
sport events, where a number of good
practise examples were shared.

Attendees were then all transported to
Slovenia’s capital Ljubljana to visit the
EUSA Office and be present for the official
opening of a new office, a recent expan-
sion to EUSA’s existing office space.
