IFIUS (International Federation for Interuniversity Sport) was a democratic non profit organisation whose main objective was to organise the yearly World Interuniversity Games, in which teams of students from different Universities and Colleges worldwide competed in different sport competitions. In 2011, IFIUS was disbanded and integrated inside Panathlon.
Until 2003 the Games were held on Weekends during the year - from 2004 onward the Games were held in a one-week period in October, establishing a true World Championship Format.
Official competitions included:
The main IFIUS objectives were:
(1) Offer each student in the world the opportunity to compete on an international interuniversity sports level.
(2) Protect the rights of interuniversity sports playing students and universities.
(3) Promote international interuniversity sports in every way it deems fit.
