Congratulations to physics visiting student Sophia Hildebrand and team who was part of the UK delegation. In May, three students from The University of Edinburgh competed in the International Erasmus Games in Madrid, Spain, joining students from across the world competing in futsal, basketball (3×3), volleyball and athletics.
About the games
The International Erasmus Games are a pan European health and well-being initiative which works to unite exchange students from all over Europe in an effort to promote sports and break down barriers which separate the local and international communities of Europe. It is an initiative of the Erasmus Student Network – one of the biggest student associations in Europe, which encourages integration of home and international students through cultural diplomacy, shared experiences, and is dedicated to providing the best overall experiences especially for international and exchange students.
Representing the UK
This year three students from The University of Edinburgh who competed in the games for the UK delegation were:
- Sophia Hildebrand, a second year Physics student from USA
- Chizua Agupusi, a third year Mechanical Engineering student from USA
- Ikhwan Pathulmen, a second year Computer Science student from Malaysia
They were supported by Edinburgh University Sports Union, Erasmus Student Network Edinburgh and Erasmus Student Network UK.
