Sports management education as a relatively young field in sports science education has not matured in its educational structure, teaching materials, teaching methodology or institutional level in the CEE region. Although MSc education of sports managers has already begun in Hungary in the last decade, the same cannot be said for other countries in the region such as Poland and Serbia. Without correcting this shortcoming it is difficult to imagine a real change of economic system in the field of sport, which presupposes that sports organizations are led by well-trained professionals with both sports and economics knowledge. This project tries to contribute to close this gap in sports science education by providing curricula that include relevant theoretical and practical knowledge for future sports managers.

The aim of the project is to incorporate the 6 courses in English into the sports management education of the three participating universities, using innovative e-learning techniques, preparing Teachers’ Guide and common ICT platform, which would provide students and teachers with important and useful knowledge in sports science education.

As a result of the project, curricula are created that can be used immediately by the participating institutions and can be published as an optional lecture by enriching their education portfolio.

The project is also the first step in a long-term process in which the full programme of a complex 4-semester master's degree programme will be developed with additional curricula for sports manager education which is not the subject of the current project.

This will allow the Polish and Serbian partners involved in the project to accredit the programme as well as to upgrade the Hungarian partner's existing sports manager education in Hungarian and to launch the same education in English.

This will enable the three partner institutions to play a decisive role in the field of sports manager education in the region.

It is also a long-term goal to develop double-degree educational programs among partner institutions whereby students in sports management education study lectures in different institutions during their educational period getting a diploma issued jointly by the partner institutions.
