The 2016 EUSA Convention in Bled continued on September 24 into its second day with full day of activities and the event concluded with the social activities in the evening.

The day started with an optional 6km morning run around Lake Bled. EUSA - European University Sports Association, being an official partner of the European Week of Sport, contributes not only by promotion of activities but also organising sports and educational events, engaging people in physical activity and encourage them to #BeActive during the Week and throughout the year.



After breakfast, EUSA Sports Manager Mr Patrik Perosa and Technical Commission member Mr Marko Zunic kicked off proceedings by presenting the European Universities Championships (EUC) Regulations and Guidelines.



Chair of the medical commission Ms Abosede Ajayi discussed the medical service requirements related to the organisation of the events.



EUSA Communications Manager Mr Andrej Pisl continued the morning session by presenting the new websites management system and explaining the EUSA registration and accreditation system to the convention members.



After a short coffee break the morning session restarted with an introduction of partner companies – first presenting the result management system by Mr Marin Furcic from FurkiSport, followed by presentation of the importance of visual identity by Mr Tomaz Gaube from Kraft & Werk.



Presenting a practical example, the 2015 European Universities Sport Climbing Championship in Katowice, Mr Michal Walusza shared their experience, which was seen as a good practice model for the EUC 2017 to follow.



EUSA Communications Manager, Mr Andrej Pisl returned to the front to discuss the importance of volunteers and introduced the EUSA volunteer programme to the organisers.



The organising committees then split into two groups - indoor or outdoor sports, and presented their own events to the delegates and other organisers. After lunch, the organising committees met with their technical delegates to tackle any immediate issues, to get to know each other and plan the preparations for the championships.



EUSA sports manager Mr Patrik Perosa concluded the day’s working sessions and again thanked everyone for their participation in the convention, inviting them to Lake Bled once more to engage in some more #BeActive activities.



The convention participants walked around the water’s edge to reach the boat house before taking to the water, using rowing boats to reach the idyllic island within the middle of Lake Bled.



The event concluded in the evening with a dinner at a restaurant overlooking the City and Lake Bled where Secretary General Mr Matjaz Pecovnik thanked all of the guests for their participation and wished them the best of luck in their European Universities Championships in 2017.
