The excitement is building for what promises to be a remarkable event from 27 to 31 August in Croatia. Here’s everything you need to know as we count down the days.

Join us for this year’s FISU World Forum, which has “University Sport: Creating a Better World” as it’s main theme.

The President of the Organising Committee, Marko Žunić, is excited that the last countdown has started: “I’m thrilled that in exactly one month, we will all gather for the opening of the Zagreb 2024 FISU World Forum, which is set to be one of the biggest yet. It is an honour and a pleasure to be making history together as we organise and host this important event. More than 300 students will be in Zagreb during those days, making the FISU Forum a great platform to socialise, make new friends and get to know different cultures. In addition to brilliant lectures and speakers, you will also have the opportunity to get to know Croatia, Zagreb, our tradition and people in a special way.”
