  • ENSSEE supports International Jean Monnet Symposium "Role of Sport in Europe - Future Challenges and Strategies" at the 'Sportschloß' in Velen (Germany) on 23 & 24 June 2008

    Sport is a growing social and economic phenomenon which makes a significant contribution to the European Union's strategic objectives of solidarity and prosperity.” (EC 2007, White Paper on Sport)

    In this regard, the European Commission has addressed, for the first time, sport-related issues in a comprehensive manner within its “White Paper on Sport”. The overall objective of this White Paper is to provide strategic orientation on the role of sport in Europe, to encourage debate on specific problems, to enhance the visibility of sport in EU policy-making and to raise public awareness of the needs and specificities of the sector.
     
    Referring to this development, the Symposium ‘Role of Sport in Europe – Future Challenges and Strategies’ will resume the discussion about the role of sport in the European integration process and address societal, political, organisational and legal aspects of sport. In addition to the European focus the role and function of sport on a local, regional and national level will be made transparent. Primary objective of the symposium is to develop expert recommendations for further strategies in order to cope with future challenges in the four sectors of sport in Europe and to set out references for additional sports-related action at EU level. Conference language will be English.

  • Obituary

    Dear colleagues,

    It is with huge sadness that we have to tell you of the sudden and tragic death of our Vice-President Dr. Alberto Madella who died from a heart attack on Sunday, 30 March 2008.

    We have lost a dear friend and a dedicated colleague who will be irreplaceable. His intellect and gentle and thoughtful approach has been at the centre of the work of both ENSSEE and EOSE. He was a tireless worker and gave freely of his time to the development of education and training for the sport sector and we owe him a great debt. Above all, he was a friend to us all and a thoroughly good person who will be sorely missed.

    Our thoughts and love go to his family, his wife Luisa and his daughter Erica; we share your feeling of loss and despair.
