THE CONFERENCE
THE CONFERENCE
Secondary athlete education models are vital to national high-performance systems, providing talented student-athletes with comprehensive academic, athletic, and lifestyle support. While these models have a long-standing history within the EU, they have lacked a dedicated international platform for collaboration.
The European Network of Sport Schools Conference fills this gap, offering a global stage for talent models to connect and inspire the wider sport and education communities.

BEYOND BORDERS
Secondary athlete education models play a crucial role in national high-performance systems. They deliver multi-disciplinary services to aspiring student athletes spanning academic, athletic, and lifestyle areas. Despite the long history of such models in the EU, a specific communication platform for these institutes on international level did not exist. This is where the ENOSS Conference comes into play.

CONNECT
ENOSS enables the international exchange of like-minded institutions, and facilitates the mobility of talented athletes as well as professionals.

LEARN
ENOSS provides exclusive access to innovative dual career practice, and contributes to improved service quality in European education and sport institutes.

INNOVATE
