PCU COMMITTEE
PCU COMMITTEE
The PCU Committee is the university sport oriented platform of Panathlon International which organizes and endorses university sport events with the focus on fair play and ethics in student sport. With resolution n° 21/11/CI dated 29/9/2011, Panathlon International authorized the establishment of the Committee of Panathlon Clubs of Universities (PCU Committee). In 1999 the basis of the PCU Committee was established as an independent initiative of Belgian and Dutch students, the “European Student Football Championship”. Over the years the number of sports was extended and the initiative was incorporated in the non-profit association IFIUS. In 2011, the association became part of Panathlon International and the initiative was welcomed by the 2011 President of the International Olympic Committee J. Rogge. The PCU Committee unites all Panathlon Clubs of Universities, supervises their sports and cultural initiatives, organizes the PCU Games, the PCU Drawing Contest, the PCU Photo Contest, the PCU Bridge Trophy, the PCU Chess Cup and PCU Tennis. A Panathlon Club of a University is a Panathlon Club connected to and named after a university or university college.
