On November 21st, 2012, the International Foundation for the Development of University Sport/Fondation Internationale pour le Développement du Sport Universitaire (IFDUS/FIDSU) was established in the Château de la Solitude, the former headquarters of FISU in Brussels, Belgium, in the presence of a notary public.

The memorandum of association was signed by FISU President Claude-Louis Gallien and the other members of the FISU Steering Committee with the proxy of the remaining members of the FISU Executive Committee. The newly established Foundation will be housed in the former FISU offices, since the FISU seat has moved to Lausanne, earlier this year.

The Foundation will be a truly instrument to further develop university sport worldwide to enhance the major FISU sporting events such as the Universiades and the World University Championships.
