The 6th edition of the International Day of University Sport (IDUS) is being celebrated this fall across the globe, and especially honoured today, on September 20.

IDUS is a platform to exchange ideas, best practices, challenges and opportunities within and through university sport worldwide. The #LetsIDUS initiative presents an opportunity to share knowledge on key issues relating to the development of sport and the University Sports Movement worldwide, to improve awareness of the importance of sport in educational institutions, and showcase the work of university sport bodies. Numerous activities both on and off university campuses across the globe are organised, showcasing the integral part sport plays in the life of a university student.



September 20 was declared International Day of University Sport by UNESCO on the initiative of the International University Sport Federation (FISU), and has been celebrated as such for the first time in 2015.
