New Time Table for 2013 Bidding Procedure
October 31st, 2008

As you probably know, the working commission for the 2013 Bidding Procedures presented the results of its work during our last Executive Committee Meeting held in Brussels a few days ago, having worked out sixteen proposals. Due to a number of major modifications that have been approved by the FISU Executive Committee, the Bidding Conditions will be sent to the applicant cities two weeks later than scheduled. The bidding procedure was set up earlier than usual in order to give more time to the future organisers to prepare the Universiade. The application procedure was launched on September 1st, 2007, and applicant cities will have until March 15th, 2008 to send their candidature documents to the FISU secretariat. The second phase will consist in assessing the quality of the files submitted to us, which entails an inspection visit to each applicant city. Finally, the Evaluation Commission will prepare a very specific report for each applicant and present it to the Executive Committee for the final attribution that will take place in Brussels in May 31st, 2008. Up to now, we already have 3 applicant cities for the 2013 Winter Universiade: Calgary (CAN), Almaty (KAZ) and Maribor (SLO) and 7 for the Summer Universiade: Edmonton (CAN), Quebec City (CAN), Poznan (POL), Gwang-Ju (KOR), Kazan (RUS), Murcia (ESP) and Vigo (ESP).
