Team

From ideas to planning and implementation: the Winter Universiade is supported by a versatile team responsible for making the largest multi-sport event for students a unique occasion.

For eleven days in Central Switzerland everything will revolve around the hosting of the 30th Winter Universiade. In addition to the organising committee, about 3800 volunteers will ensure that events at the seven venues operate smoothly. The volunteers will work in a diverse range of activities: supervising teams, printing results and acting as forerunners are just a few examples.
