Student EASM Experience
“( EASM , the place to deepen your international insights )”
Dublin , Ireland ( 2015 ) and Warsaw , Poland ( 2016 ) - Ben de Boer
The European Association for Sport Management ( EASM ) is founded in 1993 . Each year they organize an European sport management congress . During this congress there are speakers and researchers from all over the world to share the most recent sport management developments . Next to this congress there is also a student seminar . In 2015 , Dublin I ’ ve competed this student seminar by myself . It was an amazing experience to cooperate with international students on a real life case . In just a few days you work very hard together to create a splashing final presentation . For our case we had to make a plan for the Gaelic Games . This plan had to promote the Gaelic Games all over the world . Our idea made it to the qualifying rounds . After this we were allowed to present the plan at the congress . The jury judged our plan as the best by rewarding us the first place . An unique experience .
EASM has deepen my international insights . Internationally , I think we can learn a lot more from each other than we do now . It also creates a nice network . In 2016 the EASM congress was held again , this time in Warsaw . I was there too , but this time as student representative . Instead of competing I was now attending the congress and seminar . I highly recommend students with international ambitions to attend and compete at the EASM congress . In 2017 the congress will be held in beautiful Bern . Luckily next to the seminar and congress there is enough time to socialize in and explore the city !
EASM ( 5-8 September 2017 )
Bern and Magglingen , Switzerland - Are you next ?
As Ben mentioned above , the EASM congress in 2017 will be held in Bern and Magglingen . Sport professionals will all come together at the centre of Europe and the heart of Switzerland from 5 till 8 September 2017 . You too ?
This year EASM will be held for the 25th time . The Institute of Sport Science of the University of Bern and the Swiss Federal Institute of Sport Magglingen want to create a special edition , for it is a jubilee . Both partners play a key role in the development of sport management studies in Switzerland .
They will do their utmost to offer an interesting programme , establish network platforms to connect with colleagues and representatives from international sport organisations and companies as well as to provide opportunities to meet and make friends .
Switzerland , and Bern in particular , is not only well known for its rich cultural history and mountains , but also for cheese and chocolate . The organising committee will make sure all participants will have the opportunity to experience this “ Swissness ” and to enjoy such delights alongside the official programme of the conference .
