Today marked the fourth in-person Kick Off Meeting for the Sport Transparency Index project in Warsaw, Poland, hosted by the Institute for Sport Governance.
This 30-month initiative aims to establish a mechanism for objectively assessing all European Sport Stakeholders concerning Transparency levels across a set of universally applicable Integrity indicators. The Sport Transparency Index project aspires to enhance standards by highlighting current capacities and simultaneously creating avenues to foster positive change through related education, policy recommendations, and knowledge exchange initiatives.
This meeting was a particular landmark for the project as it marks the culmination of the Pilot Study phase that built upon an in-depth mapping of the Sport Integrity and Good Governance Landscape which informed the creation of the 15 indicators which will be used to evaluate Sport Transparency in Europe at all Stakeholder Levels. The pilot study successfully validated the methodology and the project will now begin the final evaluations of European Sport and compile the first edition of the Sport Transparency Index for launch in 2025.
SIGA EUROPE are proud to lead this multi-stakeholder project that is funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme.
This project is intended to be inclusive and accessible for Stakeholders from every aspect of the Sporting Ecosystem. As such, all are invited to register to participate in a variety of ways to this ground-breaking project.
