Other events will also be held during the anniversary year, such as the student sports 100th anniversary seminar 1.2.2024. The Ministry of Education and Culture has granted the Federation funding for the anniversary activities. The funding will be used for various purposes including hiring a new project worker.

In the anniversary year, the hundred-year history of organised student sports in Finland will be celebrated by publishing a history of student sports.
