The General Assembly of the Swiss University Sports Federation, founded in 1932, was held at the University of Berne. The delegates of the SUSF, received a review on the most successfull year in the history of the SUSF.
Swiss students won 14 medals at the Winter Universiade in Harbin and 5 medals at the Summer Universiade in Belgrade. Many Swiss teams also participated at different European Universities Championships.
The financial year closed with a loss of 7,500 Swiss francs, which is much better than the deficit of 65,000 Swiss francs which was in the budget. In the budget of 2010 the SUSF plans a profit of 95,000 Swiss francs. Credit Suisse, the main sponsor of the SUSF, prolonged the sponsorship contract for another year and assured the Swiss Unversity Sports Foundation to be also sponsor for 2011.
SUSF-President Andreas L. Csonka was re-elected for another term of two years as well as the other members of the board, among them also Leonz Eder, FISU Assessor.
New candidates for the SUSF Committee were presented by the Federal Institute of Technology Zürich and the University of St. Gallen. The three students Christoph Böcklin, Isabel Collischonn and Marion Höchli were elected as new board members.
Finally the delegates accepted the progress reports from the Organising Committees of the 2010 World University Chess Championship in Zürich and the 2011 European Universities Tennis Championships in St. Gallen. Additionally they approved the candidature of Crans-Montana to bid for the 2014 WUC Golf. This city in the Canton of Wallis is the host of the famous Omega European Masters which is played every year.
