FISU Staff Visit Belgrade for Work Meeting

The Expo Hall will serve as dining hall for the athletes

FISU Director of the Summer Universiade Marc Vandenplas, FISU Sports Manager, Michal Buchel, and the Assistant to the Secretary General Hedwige Hankart visited the Belgrade OC 2009 from March 26th to the 30th.

One of the main reasons of their visit was to advise the OC about the Head of Delegation meeting that will take place from March 19th to the 21st. The FISU delegation also took the opportunity to visit numerous venues in and outside Belgrade.

The FISU staff has also advised the OC about the project management of different areas, such as sports, venues, catering, transport, accreditation, security, PR and media, marketing and volunteers. Both parties also discussed the restructuration of the OC and it was an opportunity for the FISU delegates to meet the new directors of several departments.

Only two weeks from the Executive Committee that will take place in Harbin, China, it was the ideal moment to gather all the necessary information to evaluate the projects progresses.
