In addition to the partnership with the Radboud University Nijmegen, the Organising Committee of the 2008 World University Cycling Championship is pleased to announce that the Hogeschool Arnhem-Nijmegen (HAN) is also an official partner of the WUC Cycling. The contract was signed with Ron Bormans from the Board of Governors of the HAN. Ron Bormans has been involved with the event from the beginning as a member of the Advisory Board. Not only will the HAN make a considerable financial contribution, but it will also bring in its students for the event. A number of projects for the WUC Cycling will be fleshed out by students of the HAN. A first project group, consisting of four students of the HAN, has started with their project on volunteers.
The OC also outlined the program of the championship
