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 Qualification 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 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 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 best practices

across European policies and

involve national authorities in all

participating organisations.

AMID’s project partners include

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 the European

University Sports Association

Institute (SLO).
