EUSA Forum 2024

Debrecen, Hungary: July 13, 2024

Synergies in university sport development

During the European Universities Games 2024 which wil be held in Debrecen and Miskolc, a special educational event was organised as well, apart from other sports, educational, cultural and social activities: EUSA Forum.

The theme of this year's Forum was "Synergies in university sport development".

Together with invited speakers we explored how organisations, institutions and events organisers cooperate, both on strategical and project- or event-based level, what are the challenges and what are the opportunities of working together, partnering and networking.

The event was open to all participants of the 2024 European Universities Games, as well as general public, with no pre-registration needed, and no participation fee. It was held at the Education Center of the University of Debrecen, starting at 10:30 AM on July 13, 2024, followed by the EUSA Reception.
