The PCU Committee aims to make a current state of affairs of Fair Play in university sports during these Covid-19 times and therefore engaged with the Universities and University Colleges of the PCU Committee network. In total, 112 Universities – spread over 43 countries in all continents – participated in the PCU Fair Play Initiative. An overwhelming 97% considers Fair Fair Play an important part of their sports activities. More analysis of the responses can be found in this report (Pdf)

ENRICO PRANDI TROPHY

The 2020 Enrico Prandi Trophy is awarded to a university or institute of higher education, based upon an ongoing or planned Fair Play initiative. The trophy is a prestigious award, unique in the world of university sport and the highest merit a university can achieve in relation to ethics in university sport. To be considered for the award, please detail below your Fair Play initiative. Registrations have now closed.

The prestigious Enrico Prandi Trophy is this year (2020) awarded to a university highlighting in the best possible way the importance of Fair Play in university sport. The PCU Committee Executive Committee decided on 14 December to award the 2020 Enrico Prandi Trophy to the Financial university under the Government of the Russian Federation (Moscow, Russia) for the initiative “Remote Walking”.

The “Remote Walking” project was held in May this year among the faculties of the Financial University. 260 students from 17 faculties took part in the competition. During 3 weeks athletes sent screenshots of their daily steps and interaction and friendship between students was stimulated, resulting in a Fair Play environment the PCU Committee encourages strongly.

The winner of the competition was determined by the number of points scored by the whole team. At the end of the competition, the University Sports Club awarded the best team and the best athletes, also “Fair Play” trophies were awarded.

The Sports Club took the unprecedented step by significantly increasing the number of individual prizes for competitors to participate due to the successful results.

To reach its decision, the PCU EC argues this project is an excellent initiative for promotion of inclusiveness and Fair Play promotion, as well as popularizing physical culture and sports in a student environment, especially during quarantine.

Yuri Izgorodin, the chief specialist of the Sports Club of the Financial University and the organizer of the “Remote Walking” competition, also proposed the idea to hold the same initiative on an international platform.

HOST ORGANIZATION

To guarantee a free program, the hosting rights of the PCU Games are granted to one single university community for a term of several years. The host is consequently ensured of the necessary return by means of publicity on a long term and is able to downsize logistic and financial requirements. The Antwerp University Association is our first partner within this new format. The Antwerp University Association is a structural cooperation of four higher education institutions in metropolitan Antwerp with about 40.000 students. Sport, Fair Play and international interaction are considered within the Antwerp University Association as highly important for the educational development of students. Also the universal Panathlon values and the recognition of the association by the International Olympic Committee are considered as complementary with the mission of the Antwerp University Association. As a result the Antwerp University Association agreed to host the PCU Games for the next years. The Antwerp University Association (AUHA) is an association of 4 Antwerp Institutes of Higher Education: University of Antwerp, KdG University of Applied Sciences, AP University College and Antwerp Maritime Academy.
