European University Sports Association (EUSA) celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2009, and this year it acquired its own offices in order to enable and support the growth of EUSA, its activities and functioning of the staff and the elected delegates and representatives.

 

Alberto Gualtieri, EUSA President, opened the new EUSA Office in Ljubljana, thanking the former lady Rector of the University of Ljubljana prof. dr. Andreja Kocijancic and President of the Slovenian University Sports Association prof. dr. Otmar Kugovnik for hosting the EUSA office in the past.

 

Many congratulations and best wishes were expressed in the speeches at the opening. Oleg Matytsin, the President of Russian Student’s Sports Union and EUSA Vice-President; Kemal Tamer, the President of Turkish University Sports Federation and Ceslovas Garbaliauskas, the President of Lithuanian Students Sports Association presented memorial plaquettes as welcome presents to the President of EUSA.

The new offices, which have been renovated and fully equipped, are located in the city centre of Ljubljana, and we are convinced that they will enable the optimal conditions to offer support to our members, organisers of EUSA events and other partners, and actively contribute to the development of the university sport within and outside Europe.
