We invite you to join us to discuss employment relations of Olympic athletes in Europe. During the event we will have particular focus on two pillars of employment: salary and commercial opportunities. The panels will constitute of Eastern European athletes and stakeholders, so the discussion will refer primarily to this region.
The event starts at 9:15 AM and finishes at 3:30 PM (CET) on 17th of June 2022.
Participation is available onsite and online. The event is held at Rondo 1 Tower (Rondo ONZ 1, al. Jana Pawła II), in the center of Warsaw, Poland. If you register for online participation you will receive a link to the stream prior to the event.

The event will consist of three sessions. The first session named ‘Good Governance in the Employment Relations of Athletes in Olympic Sports in Europe’ is a livestream from the concurrent ‘Sport and EU’ Conference in Lausanne. The second and third panel sessions will take place in Warsaw. The second session will have athletes and their entourage discussing income and commercial opportunities in the Easter European countries, while the third session will introduce Eastern European stakeholders referring to good governance in the employment relations in Eastern Europe.
The event is a part of the EMPLOYS project concerning employment relations of Olympic athletes. The EMPLOYS project is coordinated by the German Sport University in Cologne and funded by the Erasmus+ grant. This ‘Eastern European’ event is coordinated by the Institute for Sport Governance which is a project partner in the project, coordinating data gathering in the Eastern Europe.
