FISU Oceania

Vale, our friend, Eric Michalak.

We are deeply saddened to learn of Eric's passing. He was not only a respected colleague, but someone who genuinely believed in the power of university sport to bring people together, build friendships and create opportunities for young people.

Eric's passion for developing university sport in New Caledonia and across Oceania was evident in everything he did. His leadership, kindness and commitment earned the respect and friendship of everyone who had the privilege of working alongside him.

On behalf of FISU Oceania, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Eric's family, friends, colleagues and the entire university sport community in New Caledonia. His contribution to our movement has left a lasting legacy and he will be remembered with great respect and affection"

Today is World Health Day. Under the theme “Stand with science”, this year’s observance launches a year‑long campaign celebrating the power of scientific collaboration to protect the health of people, animals, plants, and the planet.
