The European University Sports Association (EUSA) has published the annual edition of its magazine – the European University Sports Association Year Magazine 2019-20.

The magazine gives a comprehensive overview of the association and its activities over the past year, with an emphasis on the successful and record-breaking 2019 European Universities Championship season.

In the magazine you will be able to find the welcome address by the EUSA President, current information on the structure of EUSA, including its member associations, Executive Committee, the Commissions and the Secretariat.

Emphasis is given to each of the 21 sports on last year’s Championship programme, where readers will be able to indulge in a general overview as well as the statistics of each sport, complete with the results, final standings and activities that accompanied the event.



The magazine also reports on the events organised under EUSA Patronage, as well as several educational events organised by EUSA over the past 12 months, including various seminars, conventions as well as the association’s 20th anniversary celebrations in Aveiro, Portugal, where the EUSA Conference, Extraordinary General Assembly and Gala took place.



A chapter dedicated to EUSA’s numerous projects showcases the association’s work in the topics of, among others, Equal Opportunities, Fair Play and Dual Careers, while the EUSA Volunteer Programme, Photo Competition, Awards, University Sport Exhibition, EUSA Club of Donors and the International Day of University Sport (IDUS) are also covered.

As EUSA is a proud partner in projects and initiatives run or endorsed by the European institutions, agencies, and other partner organisations, receiving support by the European Union, Council of Europe and other institutional bodies, these projects were introduced as well.



Special attention has been given to the report of the European Week of Sport, which was held under the #BeActive slogan, promoting sport and physical activity throughout Europe. Other EU-funded projects where EUSA is a lead or partner have also been introduced, including the projects Gender Equality Toolkit for Generation Z (GETZ), Education Model for Parents of Athletes in Academics (EMPATIA), Smart Sport, Media as a channel of athlete's dual careers promotion and education (EdMedia), Athletes Friendly Education (AFE), Match Point, Halting Harassment and Abuse in Sports using Learning Technologies (HALT), Rainbow Youth for Sporting Equality (RYSE), Skills for You(th) through Sport (SK4YS), Athletic Migration: Dual Career and Qualification in Sports (AMID), as well as introducing new projects Innovating Football Leadership through Practice and Policy (iFLIPP) and the Queens Rugby 7s Festival.

The EUSA Institute will form part of a partnership consortium in other projects which were selected for funding in the field of promotion of education in and through sport, with special focus on skills development and supporting the implementation of the EU Guidelines on dual careers of athletes as well as in the field of encouraging social inclusion for more information and equal opportunities in sport.



We offer an overview of the most visible events and achievements of the EUSA members and partners, including the International University Sports Federation (FISU), Continental university sports bodies of Africa, Americas, Asia and Oceania, as well as the other EUSA partners and allies, including the European Commission, European Non-Governmental Sports Organisation (ENGSO) and ENGSO Youth, European Athlete as Student (EAS) Network, European Handball Federation (EHF), European Karate Federation (EKF), World Taekwondo Europe, European Olympic Committees (EOC).
