FÉDÉRATION INTERNATIONALE DU SPORT UNIVERSITAIRE

FISU stands for Fédération Internationale du Sport Universitaire (International University Sports Federation) and was founded in 1949.
FISU's main responsibility is the supervision of both Summer and Winter Universiades as well as the World University Championships.
FISU is composed of a General Assembly which represents the members (134 National University Sports Federations). It is FISU's main governing body. It elects the Executive Committee for a period of four years  which takes all the necessary decisions for the smooth running of FISU. Ten permanent commissions advise the Executive Committee in their specialized areas and so to simplify its duties.

Emblem
The official FISU emblem was inspired by the 'U' from University accompanied by five stars that symbolise the 5 continents.



The FISU Conference
The FISU Conference takes place at the same time as the Universiade, complementing the sporting aspect with sociological study and scientific research, thus illustrating the need to bring together Sport and the University Spirit. This FISU Conference also entitled " Conference for the Study of University Sport" tackles topics relating to the different aspects of sport and physical education.

The FISU Forum
Since, like the Universiade, the Congress is biennial, FISU wished to give students and university sport officials the opportunity to meet more often to discuss subjects involving education, culture and sport, through Forum seminars.

Practically speaking, Forum seminars will take place every two years, alternating with Universiade years, and each time in a different location.
