This Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the IFIUS EC will meet at the General Secretariat in Antwerp to conclude the registration period for the Milan 2009 Games. It is already clear that for Milan 2009 the number of teams has increased strongly compared to former editions. Not only the new Golf and Pitch & Putt competition (10 teams) ensures this growth, also all the other competitions add to a total of 83 teams. Additionally, the IFIUS EC will discuss a number of informal participation requests from America, Asia, Europe and Africa, with the objectives to extend the number of participants, to increase the number of countries where the universities are located (24 at the moment) and to welcome for the first time teams from four continents.
