Physical activity and sports in the university of the future

As part of the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the UAB Physical Activity Service (SAF) the centre will be holding a round table entitled "Physical activity and sport in the university of the future: challenges, opportunities and social impact". The event will take place on Thursday 30 April and aims to promote a shared reflection on the current situation, challenges and future prospects of physical activity and sports in the university environment.

The round table will bring together representatives from the Ministry for Sports of the Government of Catalonia (General Secretariat of Sports), the Youth Sports Foundation of the Superior Sports Council (CSD), Catalan University Sports (ECU), and the European Network of Academic Sports Services (ENAS). It will be a space for plural dialogue to share experiences, strategic visions and good practices.

The SAF is celebrating its 40th anniversary this academic year, with 30,000 square metres of sports areas, almost 10,000 SAF members, more than 130 hours of guided activities per week, 10 sports programmes that range from support for high-performance athletes (Tutoresport) to the representation of UAB athletes in interuniversity competitions and a team of 65 professionals.
