EUROPEAN UNIVERSITIES GAMES
The largest university sport event in Europe, the European Universities Games,
is licensed and coordinated by the European University Sports Association.
So far, the Games have twice enjoyed
support from the European Union through
the Erasmus+ Programme as a not-for-
profit event – in 2014 for the 2nd European
Universities Games in Rotterdam (NED)
and in 2018 for the 4th European Universi-
ties Games in Coimbra (POR).
The European Universities Games is a
unique event, bringing together university
teams and individuals, offering sport, cul-
ture, education and socialising, celebrating
grassroot and competitive sport through
university sport values of fair play, diver-
sity, inclusion, dual career, volunteering
and others.Sports competitions, inclusion of students
with disabilities, workshops, seminars,
masterclasses, exhibitions, volunteertraining and cultural programmes are only
a few aspects that make up the Games,
which take place every two years. Recent
editions of the event brought together
over 4000 participants representing over
400 universities from over 40 countries in
Europe.SUPPORTING INITIATIVES
