National and international student events
We support students in organizing sporting events by providing a music license and accident insurance.
Finnish Student Championships are national championships for university students, organized in cooperation with local students. Participate in the Finnish Student Championships for your own sport, organize never-before-seen competitions or apply for Finnish Student Championship status for your own event!
The SELL Student Games multi-sport event open to all students is held annually in a specific SELL country. Participating in SELL competitions is definitely worthwhile: they are not just about sports but also seminars and student parties.
European Universities Championships are traditionally held across Europe during the summer. The right to participate in the European Universities Championships is automatically granted to the winners of the Finnish Student Championships.
