The 21st Conference of the European Association for Sport Management taking place in Istanbul, September 2013, will bring together leading teachers, researchers, students and practitioners in the area of sports management.
The Conference theme is Sport Management for Quality of Life. The multifaceted structure of modern sport bears the potential for both human enrichment as well as humiliating processes (e.g. racism). Sport can play an important role in binding diverse social-cultural identities and nevertheless preserve individual dignity. On the other hand, uncontrolled economical and social processes in our modern multicultural society may counteract with harmful results. Nowadays in the “global village” Sport Management has to face these contradictory challenges both on the global and local scale. Big sport events as well as grassroots sports in the community should promote human enrichment by creating social and human capital. The commitment of sport management to physical and mental well-being, recreation, social and environmental belonging, thus “quality of life” and the implications of this commitment will be the central theme underlying this conference.
The EASM 2013 program structure will consist of three main session types:
- Plenary sessions (invited speakers)
