(eusaunisport) #1

On March 15, 2012, the Executive Com-
mittee met in Maribor, Slovenia for their
scheduled meeting which at the same
time was the last meeting of the current
Executive Committee, as the electoral
General Assembly of EUSA followed this
meeting. The second Executive Committee
meeting of the year took place on June 15
in Brussels, Belgium, which was the first
meeting of the new Executive Commit-
tee. The year’s third meeting took place in
Trieste, Italy on October 27.


In 2013, EUSA held its 14th General
Assembly in Funchal on the Island of Ma-
deira, Portugal, hosted by the Academic
University Sports Federation of Portugal
(FADU).


Changes to the Statutes were made in
order to define the social responsibility
of the organisation in its core document,
to offer possibilities of extended coop-
eration, focusing on priorities, having the
General Assembly on a biannual basis and
synchronising some parts of the Statutes
to be more in line with FISU and other
international organisations.


The first Executive Committee meeting
of 2013 took place in Zagreb, Croatia
on January 25 and 26. Members of the
EUSA Executive Committee convened for
their second meeting in 2013 in Funchal,
Madeira on March 15 while the last EUSA
Executive Committee of 2013 was held on
June 1 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

In celebration of its 15th anniversary in
2014, EUSA held its Executive Committee
Meeting, Conference and General Assem-
bly in Turkey. All of them were hosted by
the Turkish University Sports Federation
(TUSF) and supported by FISU.

The first EUSA Executive Committee
of 2014 was held on January 30 and
February 1 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Denizli was the location for a series of
EUSA events in the beginning of April
2014, starting with the Executive Commit-
tee Meeting on April 3, while Tbilisi was
the location of the third EUSA Executive
Committee Meeting in 2014, which took
place on June 12 and 13. The Executive
Committee visited Coimbra, Portugal –
the host city of the European Universities
Games 2018 – between November 27 and
30 for the final meeting of the year.

The EUSA Executive Committee mem-
bers and invited guests met three times
in 2015 – in Zagreb, Croatia in March, in
Hannover, Germany in May and Zurich,
Switzerland in October.

Other important meetings in 2015 includ-
ed a gathering of relevant partners of the
European Universities Games Zagreb-Rije-
ka 2016 in Zagreb, in order to prepare the
