The organisations committed to supporting Universiade competitions that follow FIS rules and standards. Their cooperation also addressed athlete development, education, integrity, sustainability and innovation within the international snow-sport pathway.

The announcement looked ahead to the Changchun Winter Universiade on 15–25 January 2027. FISU secretary general Matthias Remund and interim FIS secretary general Urs Lehmann described the agreement as support for professionally delivered competitions and student-athlete opportunities.
