3 May 2022: GLMS delivers education day on sports regulation at University of Lausanne
GLMS participated on 3 May in the University of Lausanne’s annual course on Regulation of Global Sport.
The programme included participants who have a first university degree in a relevant field, or who manage (units of) global sport organisations and are faced with the challenges of global sport involving domestic (hard) laws and transnational sporting codes (soft laws).
The objectives include knowing the different global sport stakeholders, their autonomy and their collaborative governance, and the peculiar ecosystem in which they take part; understanding the global sporting regulations based on domestic, European and international (hard) laws, and/or transnational sporting rules (soft laws); and reflecting upon the possible evolution of global sport regulations thanks to the models and current issues facing global sport presented in the course.
GLMS was represented by Ludovico Calvi, GLMS President, as well as onsite, General Secretary Luca Esposito Poleo and Cassandra Fernandes, Legal and Projects manager. They presented various aspects related to sport integrity, ranging from the Macolin Convention, to the importance of monitoring and analysis and finally the regulatory landscape and inter-stakeholder cooperation.
