President's Address
Dear friends,

I am very happy to welcome you to Bydgoszcz, for the 2022 FISU
World University Championship Canoe Sprint.

For nearly two years, international university sport was almost not
possible. What an extraordinary period we have all been through.
FISU’s thoughts are first and foremost with those who have lost
loved ones, and with those who have experienced personal
suffering. Because of this, the resumption of competitions has
been bittersweet.

As societies and economies rebuild, however, we are reminded of the need to prioritise sport and healthy social exchange. FISU firmly believes
that university athletes are the role models and future leaders the world needs, now more than ever.

Over the next three days, you will compete alongside some of the best student athletes in the world. The FISU World University Championships
demand skill, athleticism and single-minded determination to do your best. But beyond the competition, FISU urges you all to take full
advantage of this moment. May you return home with memories that will last a lifetime and perhaps even some new friends from faraway
places.

By taking part in the FISU World University Championship Canoe Sprint, you are becoming part of a historic movement that has been growing
for more than 70 years. I encourage you to consider how you may best write your own page in this history.

None of FISU’s events would be possible, meanwhile, without the gracious generosity of our hosts. I would like to extend our sincere gratitude
to the National University Sports Federation of Poland and the organisers for their dedication. I am confident you will do the same.

FISU is also grateful for the ongoing support of the International Sports Federations. Together, we aim to provide the highest level of technical
excellence, both on and off the field of play. We remain convinced that the best student athletes deserve nothing less.

I am confident that the 2022 FISU World University Championship Canoe Sprint in Bydgoszcz will provide you every opportunity to shine, and I
wish you the best of luck!

Leonz Eder
FISU Acting President

Bydgoszcz is a city in northern Poland, straddling the meeting of the Vistula with its left-bank
tributary, the Brda. With a city population of 344,091 and an urban agglomeration with more
than 470,000 inhabitants, Bydgoszcz is the eighth-largest city in Poland. The city is part of the
Bydgoszcz–Toruń metropolitan area, which totals over 850,000 inhabitants. Bydgoszcz is the
seat of Kazimierz Wielki University, University of Science and Technology as well as the Medical
College of Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. It also hosts the Pomeranian Philharmonic
concert hall, the Opera Nova opera house, and Bydgoszcz Airport. Being between the Vistula and
Oder rivers, and by the Bydgoszcz Canal, the city is connected via the Noteć, Warta, Elbe and
German canals with the Rhine, a river linked to the Mediterranean and Black Seas by canals and
flowing into the North Sea. Bydgoszcz is an architecturally rich city, with gothic, neo-gothic,
neo-baroque, neoclassicist, modernist and Art Nouveau styles present, for which it earned a
nickname Little Berlin. The notable granaries on Mill Island and along the riverside belong to
one of the most recognized timber-framed landmarks in Poland.

Poland is a member of the European Union and the Schengen Area. Therefore, the citizens of the countries which are also members of EU and/or
the Schengen Area are allowed to enter the territory of the Republic of Poland freely, without the need to fulfil any immigration conditions, and
without the border control. The citizens of the Non-Schengen EU and EEA are also allowed to travel to Poland without fulfilling any immigration
conditions. However, they are the subject to border control. The citizens from remaining countries are obligated to justify the purpose of their
travel, present the place of their accommodation and prove sufficient funds for the stay and for the return travel to their country. Furthermore,
they must not be considered as persons who can disturb the public order, security or international arrangements between the countries and
they must not be on the list of persons whose entrance to Poland is forbidden. The Non-EU and EEA citizens should possess a valid travel
document and a visa, unless it is not required.

VISAS:
The Non-EU and EEA citizens are allowed to enter the Schengen Area and stay for up to 90 days upon issuance of a Schengen unified short-term
visa. Such an application should be submitted to the embassy or a consulate of the country of the visitor’s main destination. In addition, the
Non-EU and EEA citizens who have a permanent residence in one of the countries which are members of the Schengen Area are also allowed to
enter the Republic of Poland.
