CULTURAL PROGRAM
THE HOST CITY
Rome is Italy’s largest and most populous city with over 2.8-million residents. Located in the central-western portion of the Italian peninsula on the Tiber river, Rome’s history as a city spans over two and a half thousand years, as one of the founding cities of western civilization. Rome, the Eternal City, capital of the Republic of Italy, was also the capital of the Roman Empire. Heart of Catholic Christianity, it is the only city in the world hosting within it a foreign State, the enclave of the Vatican City, which is why it is often defined as the capital of two states. Central Rome remains essentially Renaissance and Baroque in character. Rome is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the European Union. See www.turismoroma.it.
DRAWING & PHOTO CONTESTS EXPOSITIONS
During the PIUTT, the prestigious expositions of the Antwerp University and Panathlon Drawing Contest and Photo Contest will be hosted.
PIUTT Participants, officials and spectators can enter the PCU Photo Contest by posting their pictures on social media, using the hashtag #PCUpic.

PRESS-RELEASE
PIUTT 2022: PCU International University Tennis Tournament goes to Rome
The University of Rome Tor Vergata becomes the new host for the “PCU International University Tennis Tournament” (PIUTT). The PIUTT is a yearly tennis event for universities and university colleges worldwide, with emphasis on Fair Play and Universal Friendship. The 7th edition will take place from 28 to 30 October 2022 in Rome, Italy.
28 students of 9 nations will meet to compete in fair play and to create new international friendships.
The PIUTT is organized by the University of Antwerp (Belgium) and the University of Rome Tor Vergata (Italy), initiated and endorsed by the PCU Committee. The Center of University Sport of Rome Tor Vergata (CUS Roma Tor Vergata) has been a longstanding friend of the PCU Committee and has a partnership with the University of Antwerp within YERUN and YUFE. The Committee of Panathlon Clubs of Universities (PCU Committee) is the university platform of Panathlon International, the global leader in sport ethics and IOC recognised since 1982.
Much attention at the tennis tournament is paid to the Olympic principles and ethical values of the Panathlon International. The main objective of the PIUTT is to offer students a platform where tennis is considered as a valuable instrument to develop international interaction and experience, with the focus on fair play and ethics in student sport.
Participating students represent 10 Universities from Belgium, England, Estonia, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania and Scotland. The 7th edition of PIUTT welcomes 28 tennis players in men’s and women’s singles (16 men and 12 women).
Students are housed at the CampusX Student Place, the biggest students accommodation in Rome. This is where the PIUTT opening, draw ceremony and student party will take place on Friday 28 October.
The tennis venue is provided by the CUS Roma Tor Vergata in Saroli club. The tennis club is located in Castel Gandolfo, in the beautiful surroundings of the Olympic lake Albano.
Matches will be played on Saturday and Sunday from 10AM on 2 tennis courts of Saroli club, covered in red clay, with warming-up on the outdoor red clay tennis court. The semi-finals and final matches on Sunday 30 October will determine the next PIUTT Champions.
The level of tennis is expected to be high. This year quite strong players entered the student tournament. Some of them played Junior ITF tournaments, Billie Jean King Cup, Youth Olympics, other national and international tennis tournaments. Among the players there are national champions in the tennis junior category U18. Many of them have been playing tennis since early childhood. Some are already tennis coaches. And everyone is happy to represent their university at the international tournament.
It is great to note that among the tennis players there is also an artistically talented student, whose artwork was selected to the 15 best of the Antwerp University and Panathlon Drawing Contest. Traditionally, the exposition dedicated to the Olympic principles in University sport will be presented during the tournament.
Thus, an exciting weekend, full of sports, art and a unique experience of student interaction and international friendship is coming to Rome.

HOSTING CONCEPT
The PIUTT is a yearly tennis tournament for universities and colleges worldwide, organized by the University of Antwerp and the University of Rome Tor Vergata (CUS Roma Tor Vergata), initiated and endorsed by the PCU Committee.
The University of Rome Tor Vergata was established in 1982 and is therefore a relatively young University. It was designed on the model of Anglo-Saxon campuses: it stretches on 600 hectares and hosts important research institutions, such as National Research Council – CNR and the Italian Space Agency – ASI. Among the most important international networks developed by the University of Rome Tor Vergata the following stand out: the European University Association, Yerun (Young European Research Universities Network) and the European University “YUFE” (Young Universities for the Future of Europe).
CUS Roma Tor Vergata is an amateur sports association for students, administrative and teaching staff that promotes sport within the university. CUS stands for Centro Universitario Sportivo (University Sport Center) and is the territorial emanation of CUSI (Italian Sports University Center) one of the 15 Sports Promotion Organizations recognized by CONI (Italian National Olympic Committee).
