Panathlon International chosen as partner in the EPOSM Erasmus+Project
"Evidence-based prevention of match-fixing in sport".
The EPOSM project ("Evidence-based Prevention of Sport-related Match-fixing") launched in 2020, will last two years (2020-2021) and is co-financed by the European Commission in the context of the Erasmus+ Collaborative Partnerships in Sport programme. During this project, eleven high-level European institutions will join forces to: raise awareness on the prevalence of sport-related (i.e. non-betting-related) match-fixing, stimulate moral judgement on sport-related match-fixing, and share and transfer this knowledge. These objectives will be pursued by disseminating and analysing questionnaires on match-fixing in seven European countries, developing country-specific action plans and organising workshops against match-fixing and disseminating these results to as many sports stakeholders as possible.
Panathlon International, through the Panathlon Representation in Brussels, in close contact with the Panathlon Cultural and Scientific Committee, was called upon to collaborate mainly because of its familiarity with the complex sports landscape, its extensive network and the sport-practice competence of its members. In the next issue of the magazine you will find the in-depth analysis.
