One of the main educational events of the International University Sports Federation is the FISU World Forum, held biennially in alternate years to the FISU World University Games. Preparations for the 2022 and 2024 editions are underway.

The 2022 FISU World Forum, is to be held in Cartago, Costa Rica 5-9 December 2022. Initially planned to welcome delegates in April 2022, the event was postponed to December, in order to enable wider in-person participation. The main theme of the event is "University Sport as a Driver for Sustainable Development," and sub-themes include good health and well-being, quality education, gender equality, and reduction of inequalities.



The 2024 FISU World Forum was awarded to Split, Croatia. The 17th edition of the event will take place 24-28 July 2024. With Split’s history as a host city for sport, their vision is to promote positive values of university sport and education with delegates while encouraging young people to take leading roles in sport in their communities.

First held in 1992 in Paralimni, Cyprus, the FISU World Forum has been held every two years bringing together students, university sport leaders, speakers, and FISU Family members from around the world. The five-day event is planned around a central theme and sub themes that allows delegates the opportunity to discuss and debate key topics impacting global university sport.
