Are you a sports addict? Would you like to be part of an international network that researches top-level sports? Then be sure to read on. You can have a big influence on the international policy around top-level sports. Join SPLISS now as a partner!
SPLISS coordinates and executes research to gain more insight into the effectiveness and efficiency of top-level sports policies in different countries. So far the international network of the project counts more than 18 countries, 60 researchers and 40 policy organisations. SPLISS' mission is to create a network that is as sustainable and international as possible. From there, they want to coordinate research, develop expertise and increase innovation around top-class sport at the policy level. By becoming a member of that network you can help SPLISS to reach that goal!
As a member of SPLISS, you will assess and advise policymakers in top-level sport on how to optimise their top-level sport systems. You offer your expertise to countries that want to evaluate and improve their top-level sport system and climate. In addition, you make the potential improvements in top-level sport visible via the unique SPLISS methodology. The results of that methodology provide more insight into the effectiveness and efficiency of a country's top-level sports policy compared to other countries. In order to be able to conduct a research as reliable and comprehensive as possible, SPLISS is constantly looking for new partners. Would you like to improve top sports policy on an international level? Do not hesitate and become a partner of the project!
