We are pleased to announce that the registration for the Sport&EU 5th
Annual Conference 'The Challenges of Sport Governance after the Lisbon
Treaty', is open. The conference will take place on 1-2 July 2010 in
Ghent (Belgium), where we will be hosted by the University of Ghent. The
conference has received the official recognition of the Belgian EU
presidency.
The programme for this year's conference promises to be of a high
standard, with world leading academics and high ranked practitioners
involved. The conference will feature Professor Ian Henry (Loughborough
University) as keynote speaker and we have also organised a high level
round table to discuss the future of EU Sports Policy with the confirmed
attendance of Michal Krejza (European Commission), Richard Corbet
(Cabinet of Herman Van Rompuy) and Folker Hellmund (EU-EOC Office). The
Flemish minister for sport, responsible for the EU rotating presidency,
will open the conference.
The research programme features 19 excellent papers divided in six
different pannels. The range of disciplines and topics covered by the
papers will make for a very interesting and intelectually appealing
conference.

conference website at

Accomodation
The conference fee DOES NOT include accomodation. Thus, you have to
arrange your own accomodation. To facilitate this process, we have
negotiated special rates (that include breakfast and taxes) with two
central hotels in Ghent: IBIS Opera and IBIS Kathedral. They are both
close to the conference venue.
You will find the details of these and other Ghent hotels in the
conference website
http://www.pswx.ugent.be/seuc2010/Accomodation/tabid/139/language/en-US/Default.aspx
To benefit from the special negotiated rate in those two IBIS hotels,
please contact them directly in the email or telephone you can find in
the website. When making the booking, please quote the code 'Congress
Sport&EU'.
If you have any questions regarding the conference and registration,
please email Charlotte Van Tuyckom ([log in to unmask]) or
myself.
I hope to see many of you in Ghent this summer.
Best regards
