The first world championship in our sport was organized in 1987 in France, and eight national shooting federations founded the "Union Internationale des Federations et Associations Nationales de Tir" on 7th July 1907 in Zurich, Switzerland... The French title of the "International Union of National Federations and Associations of Shooting" started to use the initials, UIT. This union was dissolved in 1915 during World War I but was reorganized in 1921 under the new name of "Union Internationale de Tir", also using the initials, UIT. After World War II had started, the activities of the Union were again suspended and then reorganized in 1947 under the new name, "International Shooting Union", using the title in the English language which from then on was decided to be the official working language of the organization. The initials of the International Shooting Union would have been ISU, but our organization had to continue using the letters of its French title, UIT, in order not to confuse it with the initials used in the international sport world by the International Skating Union... The change of the title "Union" to International Shooting Sport Federation(ISSF) in order to conform to almost all the other sporting organisations was officially approved at the General Assembly in Barcelona, Spain on 15th July 1998. 2, record 9, English, - International%20Shooting%20Sport%20Federation

The mission was born in Zurich on 22 May 1985, when it was accepted as a Cornerstone science project by the ESA Space Science Advisory Committee. It was then known as the Comet Nucleus Sample Return mission(CNSR) and was envisaged as a collaboration with NASA. After a few years NASA's priorities changed, so the highly ambitious sample return mission evolved into a slightly less complex ESA-only mission dedicated to a comet rendezvous and two asteroid flybys. 1, record 10, English, - Comet%20Nucleus%20Sample%20Return%20Mission

The World Glacier Monitoring Service(WGMS) is based in Zurich, Switzerland, and currently coordinates the reporting of glaciers and mass balance studies across the world(including those in Canada). It maintains a database called the The World Glacier Inventory, which contains data for nearly 70, 000 glaciers. The inventory entries are based upon a single observation in time and can be viewed as a "snapshot" of the glacier at this time. 1, record 11, English, - World%20Glacier%20Monitoring%20Service
