Developing an innovative European Sport Tutorship model for the dual career of athletes
Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Jun 30, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The general idea of this new project is to establish a collaboration synergy in the field of sport for professional athletes and to establish a network among the universities involved and other parties that are related to the sports development, linking this to a tutorial of the athletes so that they can combine their higher education with professional sports. This project aims at developing a European “Sport Tutorship” model at Universities that will allow high-level students-athletes further develop their dual career across Europe. The ultimate goal is therefore to facilitate, through the Sport Tutorship, the integration of athletes into the University context, by maintaining their sport career performance.Project actions and outcomes:• Development of a Network at regional, national and European level (in at least 5 countries) among project partners, related to the topic “Sport Tutorship” covered by the project. Such network would bring together students/athletes, coaches, professors, educational institutions, sport authorities and organizations and other relevant stakeholders. It would work as a forum for cooperation and exchange of knowledge and good practices.• Production of a comparative study / analysis of the situation on the academic and sport regulations applied by the Universities to the students/athletes.• Development of an innovative “Sport Tutorship” programme in the form of a Handbook which will combine methodology, guidelines, recommendations and conclusions.• Implementation and validation of the Sporrt Tutorship programme in the participating Universities, for at least one academic year. Under the supervision of a third party “EuroPartnership Foundation”.• Organization and development of 4 Workshops on Dual Career issues (2) and on the Sport Tutorship programe (2).
