Swiss University Sports held a General Assembly in Ittigen, Bern, at the House of Sports of the Swiss Olympic Association where they discussed an outlook on the series of University events set to take place this year.

Events such as the Chengdu World University Games and the European Universities Championships in Orienteering, which is taking place in Switzerland, are the focus for the body as it aims to maximise the performances of their student-athletes.

The Committee also looked at annual reports, accounts, and a review of national and international student competitions, which is generated in order to find the best ways to improve.

Daniel Studer, the lead on the European University Sports Association (EUSA) events for Switzerland, gave the General Assembly an overview on the Lodz 2022 European Universities Games, where Switzerland claimed multiple medals and won two fair play awards.

The organisation also added a new article on ethics to the statutes, which was approved by delegates.

Attentions are now turned to Chengdu, as delegates look to improve on the Swiss performance at the 2019 World University Games, where the country finished 23rd with two golds, one silver and one bronze.
