Debrecen and Miskolc, the host Cities:

Debrecen (220,000 people), the second most important city in Hungary after the capital Budapest, is located in the eastern part, about 115 km from the other host city, Miskolc (160,000), in the northeastern part of Hungary. Both cities have modern infrastructure and sports facilities suitable for the major university event of the year.

Regarding the universities, Debrecen and Miskolc have a combined population of 40 thousand students attending 14 universities and 8 faculties. Both institutions have a prominent capacity for education, research, and innovation, with academically recognized results internationally.

The University of Debrecen has a history of just over 100 years, founded in 1912, inheriting the Hungarian Royal University, among others, and merging in 2000 to its current form. The University of Miskolc (formerly known as the Technical University of Heavy Industry before 1990) is the largest university in northern Hungary.

EUSA and the Organizing Committee are working closely to ensure the success of the games, with the support of local stakeholders and national institutions to achieve European University Games at the highest level.

It is worth noting that the last games were held in Lodz, Poland, in 2022, with 4,459 participants representing 422 universities from 38 European countries.
