Everyone has their own way of staying active.
The European Week of Sport, established in 2015, aims to combat physical inactivity and highlight that each individual can find their own way to stay active. In 2025, the initiative brought together over 15.1 million people across Europe. The UPO, by participating, promotes sport, well-being, equality, and university coexistence on its campus.
