ATHLETIC MIGRATION:

DUAL CAREER AND

QUALIFICATION IN SPORTS

EUSA was an associated partner for a two-year

period in this project, which was co-funded by the

Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.

Athletic Migration: Dual Career

and Qualification in Sports

(AMID) looked to promote

and support good governance

in sport and dual careers of

athletes by building a network

for exchange of best practices,

by developing skills and

competences in dual career,

especially addressing migrating

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 looked 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 aimed to expand its

network, exchange the identified

best practices across European

policies and involve national

authorities in all participating

organisations.

AMID’s project partners included

the University of Salzburg

(AUT); University Sport Service

Hamburg (GER); Lapland

University of Applied Sciences

(FIN); University of Ljubljana

(SLO); University of Cassino and

Southern Lazio (ITA); European

athlete as student network

(MAL) and and the European

University Sports Association

(SLO).
