History

[edit]

In 1923 student organizations of Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania established an extensive co-operation agreement, which resulted in first regional student competition for the university students of the respective countries in Tartu, Estonia. During this period there were organized separately summer games, winter games and chess tournaments. The competitions lasted until 1940 when the last winter games were held before the ties between Baltic States were severed by occupation of the Baltic States around the World War II.

After Baltic States became independent again the tradition of competition was restored in a meeting held 21 April 1997, and the 1998 SELL Games were organized in Tartu. The competition has been open to all university students around the world since then.
