ATHLETIC MIGRATION: DUAL CAREER
AND QUALIFICATION IN SPORTS
EUSA is an associated partner for a two-year period in this ongoing project,
which is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
Athletic Migration: Dual Career and Quali-
fication in Sports (AMID) looks to promote
and support good governance in sport
and dual careers of athletes by building a
network for the exchange of best practices
by developing skills and competences in
dual career, especially addressing migrat-
ing athletes.
The insufficient support for migrating
athletes is a major risk of decreased
performances or drop-outs in education
and sports, with the AMID project hoping
to raise awareness and knowledge of the
phenomenon of dual career and athlete
migration, including the current situation
and challenges in the European Union.The project also hopes to build a network
and develop applicable support structures
for migrating athletes within the EU,
including implementation and evaluation
of best practices while providing practical
tools to stakeholders and feeding good
practices into governance.AMID ultimately aims to expand its
network, exchange the identified bestpractices across European policies and
involve national authorities in all partici-
pating organisations.AMID’s project partners include the Uni-
versity of Salzburg (AUT); University Sport
Service Hamburg (GER); Lapland Universi-
ty of Applied Sciences (FIN); University of
Ljubljana (SLO); University of Cassino and
Southern Lazio (ITA); European athlete as
student network (MAL) and the European
University Sports Association (SLO).DUAL CAREER
