They currently include two Universiades (summer and winter) and 34 World University Championships.

The Universiade is an international multi-sport event, organized for university athletes by the International University Sports Federation (FISU).

They created the flag with a 'U' surrounded by stars, which was to begin its journey around the world, and replaced the national anthems at the medal-awarding ceremonies with Gaudeamus Igitur.

It was known as a beer-drinking song in many early universities and is the official song of many schools, colleges, universities, institutions, student societies and is the official anthem of the International University Sports Federation.

The Universiade in Turin was a success for the local Executive Committee, as well as for the man who was to change the future of the university sports movement: Dr. Primo Nebiolo.

Nebiolo became president of the International University Sports Federation, which among other things arranges the Universiade, in 1961.

This distinguishes its role from the longer-established International University Sports Federation, which governs student sport from the ages of 17 to 25.

A new building (Synathlon) will host the Institute of Sport Sciences of the University of Lausanne, the International Academy of Sport Science and Technology, the International University Sports Federation and the International Sport Cluster.
