Global student championships<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

The world student championships are organised by the International University Sports Federation (FISU). <\/span><\/p>\n

Within these championships, a distinction is made between FISU World University Championships, FISU World University Games and FISU University World Cups.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The World University Championships are separate world championships for students in, each organised in a different country. <\/span><\/p>\n

As a student, you compete at these championships on behalf of the Netherlands.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The World University Games are like the Olympics, but for students. Like the Olympics, there is a summer and a winter edition. With more than 150 countries participating across 25 different sports, it is the largest multi-sport event for students in the world. The event takes place every two years<\/span><\/p>\n

As a student, you appear at these events on behalf of the Netherlands.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The University World Cups are final tournaments you qualify for as a team after the European Student Championships have<\/span><\/p>\n

won. At these events, you compete on behalf of your educational institution.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

From the Netherlands, the SSN Topsport foundation is responsible for the recruitment & selection of students towards the World University Games and World University Championships. They do this in consultation with the relevant sports federations.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
