Previous editions

After 3 years of preparation, the first edition of the Students' Games was held in April 2018. Inspired by the major student events in Lausanne and elsewhere, 420 students competed together to mark the very first edition. Coming from a dozen institutions across Switzerland and neighbouring France, it was finally the University of Burgundy that won the title followed closely by local teams from EPFL and the University of Lausanne who completed the podium. The start of the Students' Games had been launched.

For the 2019 edition, the organising committee made two major changes: the Saturday lunch is delivered on time and the Saturday evening party is entirely managed by us. It is not surprising that the Swiss punctuality once again restored and the festive energy of the Lausanne campus together succeeded to the EPFL team which won this time in front of the University of Burgundy. The University of Lausanne managed to keep its 3rd place.

Sadly, the third edition was postponed by more than one year due to Covid-19 pandemic. In October 2021, the tournament was finally back, bringing together 520 athletes. Only six months later, in May 2022, more than 500 students gathered once again in Lausanne during an unforgettable weekend. Students' Games are back for good, and about to become a key student sporting event in Switzerland and neighboring countries.
