The President welcomes the launch of the 2020 EAS Conference taking place online on Sep 17th.
Indeed, 2020 required all of us to adopt measures to prevent and to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. While physical distance is needed, we will keep staying connected. Thus, for the first time, the EAS General Assembly and Conference are now transformed into a virtual event hosted by the University of Hamburg (Germany).
To meet the dual-career excellence attendees, expect, the online EAS program includes keynote speakers and sessions with interactive Q&A sessions and two workshops.
At the heart of our online program is the cutting-edge information in the European achievements and future activities, and the experiences of EU-funded projects on dual-career. Thus, the program will provide various views and approaches that will encourage key dual-career actions, policies, and research contributing to the development of the European dual-career discourse.
Your online EAS Conference pass will give you exclusive access to:
-
Annual General Assembly
-
All keynote presentations, sessions, and workshops
-
Post-Conference access to presentations
Therefore, the 2020 EAS conference will remain the privileged occasion for the interchange of ideas and stay current in the European dual-career field and networking! We are here for the benefit of athletes as students, and we look forward to seeing you online on September 17, 2020.
Sincerely, Laura Capranica, EAS President
