27 out of 35 EUSA-members attended the 5th General Assembly of EUSA in Ljubljana / SLO. In the charming surrounding of the city of Ljubljana, complemented by the perfect organisation of the team of the Slovenian University Sports Association (SUSA), the large programme of EC-meetings, Seminar, General Assembly and cultural excursions made the visit short-lasting and fruitful. The Seminar "University Sport and the European Union" gave the opportunity to discuss a future involvement of EUSA in the sports politics in the European Union. A special focus was given to promising funds of the European Union for University Sports activities, well presented by Mr. Zoran Verovnik, Counsellor to the Minister of Science, Education and Sports of Slovenia.
The General Assembly, chaired by Mr. Leonz Eder (SUI), approved the annual report of the EC including some future tasks for the new EC, naming the future development of the Symposium, the discussion of marketing activities as well as the need for a strategy plan concerning EUSA-activities in general.
The General Assembly also approved two modifications of statutes: the inclusion of the development of a "strategy plan" into the statutes as one of the tasks of the General Assembly and the increase of EC-members from 7 to 9 ordinary members, which became effective immediately at the elecetions for the new EC (term 2003 - 2005).
