A three-day seminar is scheduled to begin today in the Olympic capital with 40 delegates from 17 countries expected to participate at the governing body's headquarters.

Representatives are due to present their plans for next year's events before receiving information from FISU on issues such as key regulations and guidelines, ceremonies and protocol, and marketing and communications.

"This seminar is a must-have as it allows direct communication between the various Organising Committees and FISU," said FISU sports director Juan-Carlos Holgado.

"In addition, organisers have a unique chance to learn from each other when presenting their event plans as part of the seminar.

"Finally, it facilitates the exchange of good practices among all the participants.

"As a result, future hosts return home with more clarity and better guidance on delivering their event successfully, and first-timers organisers gain confidence."

Other sessions include topics such as "a day at a FISU championship", "workforce management", "key moments and concepts in a FISU championship" and a visit to the Olympic Museum.

FISU aims for the seminar to serve as an opportunity for delegates to meet in person and share their views, strategies and experience on organising sporting events. 

It follows an initial online meeting that took place in March as part of the preparations.

Ski orienteering is the first of the FISU World University Championships to take place in 2024, with competition scheduled to take place on January 12 in Lenzerheide in Switzerland.

Individuals events are then due to run throughout the year in cross-country running, speed skating, finswimming, cycling, sailing, futsal, mind sports, squash, rowing, powerlifting, orienteering, cheerleading, gold, triathlon, sport climbing, shooting, modern pentathlon, and beach volleyball.
