European Universities Games are the largest multi-sport competition in Europe, and a media platform that will mark a milestone for further development of Croatian university sports.
SponsorshipDuring the european Universities Games Zagreb – Rijeka 2015, between 1,500 and 2,000 volunteers will live a unique experience in this great cultural and multi-spors event. Volunteers will be the backbone of the organization.
VolunteeringGames opening in:
The principal seaport and the third-largest city in Croatia
Due to its positioning, history was not kind to the inhabitants of Rijeka, but nevertheless it taught them much. First and foremost it taught them tolerance and openness, two characteristics that make life more beautiful and pleasant, particularly in the contemporary world which is characterised to a much larger extent by connections rather than divisions.
A city which emerged in Roman times, through numerous transitions, blossomed from the mighty industrial and port centre of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy to the present day metropolis of the northern Adriatic is developing into the university and business centre of a strong tourist region, with a recognisable and diverse way of life.
In the past 15 years, the City of Rijeka has experienced a great change in its economic and social structure. During the transition process, Rijeka has transformed from a typical industrial city into a local economy in which the service sector dominates.
Welcome to Rijeka, which will hold the European University Games together with Zagreb from 12th to 25th July 2016! We are pleased to host more than 1,300 students who will compete in 7 different sports. I am glad that for the first time, two competitions for the students with disabilities are also included in the schedule.
I am glad that for the first time, two competitions for the students with disabilities are also included in the schedule. We are all familiar with the fundamental values represented by university sport.
These are, first of all, knowledge, education, prudence, strength, force and love, and they stand for the synergy of the heart and mind.
I wish you, therefore, that during these two weeks in our city what your HEART BELIEVES, your MIND ACHIEVES, and the great results will not fail.
Rijeka already has extensive organizational experience in major sports competitions, and I believe this was an additional motive for EUSA to give us over with full confidence the organization of this competition. With excellent conditions that you will have in recently built sports facilities such as Swimming Pool Complex Kantrida and Zamet Centre, with a pleasant stay that you will have in newly built accommodation facilities of Rijeka University Campus and with a warm welcome and support of the citizens of Rijeka, I am convinced this competition will be a nice and dear memory of yours! I wish you fair play, lots of sport luck and success!

“Without Hamlet” is an award-winning play that explores what would happen to Hamlet if its protagonist took a day off. Whilst turning the world’s best-known tragedy into a comedy, the performers still pay hommage to the great work by citing its best quotes and putting the work into a modern-day context.
