How can we improve the governance standards of these organisations? This is the question that Play the Game/the Danish Institute for Sports Studies has been addressing in cooperation with six European universities and the European Journalism Centre.
The results of this project were revealed at a one-day seminar on EU and sports governance on 8 April 2013 in Brussels.
A new tool against corruption in sport
Sports organisations who want to curb corruption in their own ranks, will soon have a tool developed by experts at their hand: The Sports Governance Observer - a tool to measure transparency, democracy and accountability in international sports organisations.
Over the coming months the tool will be refined, and the first complete survey based on the Sports Governance Observer is to be launched at the 8th international Play the Game conference in Aarhus, Denmark, from 28-31 October 2013.
