International Day of University Sport

Slider INTL Day of University Sport

Since 2016, the International Day of University Sport (IDUS) has been held annually on September 20. IDUS was initiated by UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

The aim of IDUS is to bring the topics of sport, physical activity and healthy lifestyles into focus through various offers at university level worldwide. It also aims to move as many students and staff as possible through university sports.

By bundling IDUS activities of individual university sports institutions and international university sports federations, which are member organizations of the International University Sports Federation (FISU), university sports can specifically draw attention to current topics and transport its concerns through the IDUS.

In addition, IDUS offers an international platform for the exchange of ideas, experiences, challenges and opportunities in and through university sport.
