1999-2009 EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY SPORTS ASSOCIATION From foundation on

I

n the year 2000, the activities of the newly elected Execu-

tive Committee were, following the activity programme

approved by the previous General Assembly, mostly dominat-

ed by the creation of suitable working structures and means

of effective communication, as well as the preparation of

future activities.

The Executive Committee held four meetings in the cities of

Frankfurt, Ljubljana, Nicosia and Paris. The establishment of

a successful system of European University Championships

was without any doubt one of the most important projects

for EUSA as well as for its members. Among others, the or-

ganisation of the first two European University Champion-

ships to be held in 2001 was appointed. The City of Aveiro,

Portugal was chosen among three candidates as the first or-

ganiser of the European University Basketball Championship,

while the organisation of the first edition of the European

University Volleyball Championship was attributed to the cit-

ies of Užice and Vrbas, Serbia and Montenegro.
