    The delight gained from attaining an accomplishable result, showing empathy to friends and the celebrations of the small “Student Olympics” – these are but a few reasons why to participate in these Student Games.

It is first mentioned in ancient chronicles in 1030. Its historical names include: Tarbatu, Jurjev, Dorpat. The second largest city in Estonia is situated on the picturesque banks of the river Emajõgi. Thanks to the river and the location at the crossroads of trading routes Tartu was an important Hanseatic town in the 13th-15th centuries linking Western Europe with Novgorod. Unfortunately wars and fires have destroyed medieval Tartu. Tourist attractions of Tartu today are the classical buildings from the 18th-19th centuries, districts with unique wooden architecture, the Dome Hill and the river Emajõgi.

Estonian Academic Sports club joined all Estonian student sportsmen in the young Republic of Estonia. In 1923 first regional student competitions were launched that later became known as the SELL Games (first letters of Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in the respective languages). In 1923-1940 the SELL Summer Games were held 13, Winter Games (since 1929) 5 and the Chess Tournaments (since 1937) 3 times. The first competitions were arranged on September 14 to 16, 1923 in Tartu, the last (winter games) on March 2 to 3, 1940 in Otepää near Tartu. International ties between student athletes of the Baltic States were disrupted following the Soviet occupation in 1940.

    In 1991 Estonia became an independent state again and shortly afterwards the Estonian Academic Sports Federation (EASF) was founded. In 1997 the EASF organized the meeting of the representatives of four states and it was agreed that the tradition of the SELL Games should be restored. 75 years had passed from the first games when in the spring of 1998 next SELL Summer Games were held in Tartu with 800 athletes from 59 universities of 13 states participating. The Estonian student body restored its status of initiating and co-ordinating student competitions in the Baltic region. The following SELL Games were held in 1999 in Kaunas, Lithuania, in 2000 in Jelgava, Latvia, in 2002 in Tartu, Estonia, in 2003 in Kaunas, Lithuania, in 2004 in Tampere, Finland and in 2005 in Riga, Latvia.
