50th university joins FISU Healthy Campus programme Hello there,
We start this edition with the great news that the University of Rio Verde from Goiás, Brazil, has become the fiftieth university to join the FISU Healthy Campus programme. The project, launched in May 2020, aims to enhance all aspects of health and well-being for students on university campuses worldwide, through the structured promotion of physical activity and healthy practices. Read more about it in our top story here.
A reminder that applications to the FISU-AIPS Young Reporters Programme at Chengdu 2021 are still open... but only till 31 January! It is an exceptional opportunity for aspiring sports journalists to receive intensive training at the Chengdu 2021 FISU World University Games this summer. Find out more here and encourage those in your network to apply!
Continuing with the theme of Chengdu 2021, we'll soon be marking 200 days to go for the flagship FISU sports event. Our Summer Games team has been onsite in Chengdu, working closely with the Organising Committee towards preparation. Watch out for some exclusive behind-the-scenes reports on our social media channels in the weeks to come.
Until next time then,
