In 2015, students can participate as supporting organisers of the European Universities Championships which will be organised in 19 sports across Europe.

The main aim of the Program is to give a chance for young students, who are interested in sports and in organizing sport events, to get the opportunity of experiencing a unique adventure, learning about the values of sport, and gaining valuable work experience through volunteering.
The participants will raise their competencies and skills in organising sport event in the European level, get new experiences in different fields, will be useful for the organising committee, exchange knowledge, learn about the culture of the country, get new friends all over the Europe and much more. The Volunteer Programme includes for example working for the organising committee, supporting the organizers in the competition fields (global coordination, manning information desks, communication between organization committee and referees, guests).
In the frame of the Volunteer Program, full board is provided during the time of the event (and training), with transfer from the official airport/station covered; volunteers only have to ensure their travel costs to the event.
In the Volunteer Program 2015 there are 40 open places for the duration of the European Universities Championships. Only those with academic eligibility in European institutes of higher education can apply, aged 17-30 (students or graduates). The application form is available online at http://volunteers.eusa.eu. The applicants will get a diploma after participation in the program.
The project is supported by the International University Sports Federation (FISU). Please see EUSA Volunteer Programme for more details.
