Student Athletes Erasmus+ Mobility in Europe

The first project supporting dual career students in their Erasmus+ mobility experience, co-financed by the European Commission.

5 renowned universities addressing
a European challenge...

In 2022, five renowned universities have decided to join forces to address a European challenge: the international mobility of dual career students, for whom an Erasmus+ mobility abroad is challenging to integrate in their sport and academic paths.

The European Commission priorities

The project answers to the European Work Plan for Sport (2021-2024) and contributes to achieving two of the Policy Priorities:
1-Inclusion & Diversity in All Fields of Education;
2-Training Youth and Sport.

The European dimension of Dual Career arrangement was recognized in the Conclusions of the Council on dual career for athletes (OJ 2013/C168/04). SAMEurope targets the guideline 28 of the recommendations: the development and implementation of dual career mobility networks.
