Project description

ATLAS (Athletes As Entrepreneurs) is a three-year joint project under EAC-A03-2018 call and Key Action Sport - Collaborative Partnerships starting with 1.1.2020 until 31.12.2022.  The wider objective of this project is to support dual careers of athletes and former athletes by developing athletes’ entrepreneurial competences. Specific targets are to support athletes who are planning to start their own business and to provide them the most current learning content in the field of entrepreneurship. Additionally, the project plans to provide mentorship to the participating athletes during the project duration.

Essential outputs to reach these targets are a training program and its training material combined with an open online course under the conditions of flexibility, adapted curriculum, e-learning and supplementary tutoring.
