Gratitude pours from the Panathlon family to each of the 2024 PCU Games 61 teams and their athletes, as well as to the Rectors, National University Sport Federation Presidents, Directors, Heads of Delegations, referees, volunteers, and staff who collectively orchestrated an unforgettable experience at the 25th PCU Games. Their dedication and spirit made it truly remarkable.
The PCU Committee will be reaching out to all participating universities shortly to assess the organization of the 25th PCU Games and explore avenues for enhancing their experience even further. We earnestly hope to welcome back all participating teams next year.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the AP University of Applied Sciences and Arts and Antwerp, the gracious host of the 2024 PCU Games. Special recognition is due to Gert Christens, Director of the Student Center at AP, whose efforts were instrumental in bringing the PCU Games to life in the dynamic city of Antwerp.
A special acknowledgment goes to Alina Baranova from PCU Antwerp, Nils Van de Velden (Chairman of Panathlon Antwerp), and Stijn Lemmens, Chairman of the 2024 PCU Games Organizing Committee. Without their tireless dedication, this successful edition would not have been possible. Even now, they continue to curate a photo album capturing the essence of the 25th PCU Games, which will be available in the coming weeks.
We also express gratitude to all the artists who journeyed to Antwerp to witness the exhibitions of the PCU Drawing and Photo Contest during the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 25th PCU Games.
Looking ahead, the PCU Committee eagerly anticipates presenting participation details for the 2024 Bridge and Chess events, along with updates on PCU Tennis, where we are evaluating two potential hosting candidates.
For the advancement of Student Fair Play!
