Data Vaults is a two-year project, coordinated by Fraunhofer, that will start in January 2020. The goal of the project is to develop a secure platform that can handle personal data coming from different sources such as smart mobile devices, wearables, sensors, medical records, ergonomic tests etc. Each member of the platform will be able to authorize collecting data about him / her and through this, will gain complete control while allowing him / her to safely share his / her selected data with third parties.

Congratulations, Olympiacos SFP!

With the SWinG Mentors Orienteering Session that took place in Paris, on October 4, partners are starting the pilot testing of our concept idea.

Partners gathered 17 -out of the 20- selected mentors at the MEDEF headquarters in Paris. This had been a first step towards the successful implementation of the SWinG mentoring scheme. The day was intentionally built to facilitate the creation of a community of SWinG mentors. It also helped to ensure a common understating of the SWinG mentoring approach and expectations. In addition it was made to learn from and capitalize on the various mentoring experience of the mentors.

In presence of Società Sportiva Lazio and the European Multisport ClubAssociation representatives, Federico Eichberg and Gabriella Bascelli, the meeting represented a good opportunity to talk about EMCA and stimulate possible future synergies in the framework of the European Union policies.

SD Crvena Zvezda delegation is now in Rome thanks to the EMCA Project Multisport Academy. The Project is co-funded by the European Union and focuses on the mobility of coaches and sport staff arond Europe, with a particular stress on the Western Balkans region.

Tibor Navracsics, for the fifth time in his career as EU Commissioner – opened the Week, with a powerful speech about the importance of practicing sport and physical activity, before being active himself, playing (a winning!)  a short “street football” tournament in team with Ignazio Cocchiere (EU Commission – Sport Unit).

The second part of the day was dedicated to a specific seminar focused on different tools and ideas to make people – especially youngsters – more active. Three different sessions gave three different perspectives, referring to different actors of the sport movement: schools and education, municipalities and sport organizations.

Even though coming from different areas, all speakers were united in a common voice: we need to encourage people to enhance their healthy lifestyle, because sport is crucial for the development of the European citizens. So, that is why we would like to encourage everyone to #BeActive! The fifth edition of the European Week of Sport is officially open.

This year, the 5th-annual European Week of Sport will be the biggest ever, with events supported by 47 partner associations in 41 countries. Since the second edition, the European Multisport Club Association is partner of this event, aiming at promoting an active lifestyle through a variety of celebrations and events.

The official opening ceremony of the Week will take place in Espoo (Finland) on 23 September 2019, and will be followed by a seminar  named”How to make young people more active?” in the afternoon of the same day. EMCA will be there, participating and promoting the #BeActive spirit!
