ENHANCING SPORT ORGANISATIONS
MANAGEMENT (ESOM)
Enhancing Sport Organisation Management is to strengthen
management and event organisation in university sport through
blended learning, sharing experiences, gaining new information.
The ESOM project started in
September 2022, with the
objective of being accomplished
through a combination of
blended learning, the exchange
of experiences, and the acquisi-
tion of new information and
skills on the key topics of sports
management, funding, commu-
nication, and other key topics.
The project was presented
on the occasion of Erasmus+
Sport and other EU funding
opportunities on January 30,
- And it’s this continuity
that in February the partners
gathered in Ljubljana, where the
EUSA Institute and the University
of Ljubljana hosted the kick-off
meeting of the project.
At the kick-off, the partners
discussed specific aspects of the
project, including the financial
and contractual obligations,
the review of planned
activities, internal and external
communication, and specifically
the next steps.The project is 3-folled,
improving cooperation between
organisations, strengthening
their expertise and activities;
improving participation in
sports and physical activities in
grassroot sport (recreation and
non-professional competitions);
and supporting student athletes
in their dual career paths
(ensuring study possibilities for
elite and high-level athletes).Main activities and pillars
include research (conducting
a survey and collecting good
practice), education (online
and live workshops and
seminars), and dissemination
(creating resources and
recommendations, conferences).In June, ESOM partners met in
Porec to give a project overview,
where project partners shared
their progress reports and
defined the survey on university
sport management, which will
be launched shortly. Moreover,
the content of the survey was
discussed in detail, having the
partners sharing relevant fields
of interest, to be part of the
research, as well as important
content and topics, to be
involved in future educational
events, as part of this project.The project is led by the EUSA
Institute (SLO), with national
university sports associations:
Croatian Academic Sports
Federation (CRO), Hungarian
University Sports Federation
(HUN), Students Sports
Association of Montenegro
(MNE), Student Sports
Association the Netherlands(NED), University Sports
Association of Poland (POL),
Sports Students’ Union
of Ukraine (UKR) and the
University of Ljubljana (SLO).
The project is co-funded by the
European Union.122 / 123
