FISU was invited to hold a seminar entitled "FISU / University Sport and sustainable development" on the topic of "Sport and Development, international approaches and local particularities". 

FISU President Leonz Eder presented the organisation, its sports programmes and educational events and then had the opportunity to answer a large number of questions from interested students. Eder also took part in the panel discussion "University Sport and development challenges." 

Other topics such as "University sport: the cradle of nutrition for elite athletes," "Sports economics," "State of research in sports economics" or "The place of sport in the human development project" were also very well received. 

While professor Jean-Loup Chappelet from Lausanne spoke on "So why organise mega sports events?," Abdelhamid Ait Bihi, member of the FISU Education Committee, presented "The impact of sports events: a systematic literature review". 

Six parallel sessions gave other speakers the opportunity to present and discuss their studies and projects. "For FISU, this conference was an excellent opportunity to make contact with the Moroccan academic world, to present the values and goals of FISU and to promote Healthy Campus," summarised Leonz Eder. "I also had the opportunity to deepen the relationship between FISU and the Moroccan University Sports Federation." 

The Moroccans were recently selected for the FISU 2024 World University Championship Futsal in Shanghai in 2024, and FISU will hold its Executive Committee meeting in Rabat in September, both important moments in the promotion of university sport in the Kingdom of Morocco.
