Economic dimension of volunteering in sport.

The project entitled “Economic dimension of volunteering in sport” (EVIS) is designed to support public authorities and sport governing bodies to formulate policies and programmes aimed at tackling social issues in the European sport systems. The EVIS research project wants to support evidence-based policy-making in sport and improve good governance in the sport sector in order to increase the social utility of sport in the European Union.

The project was co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. The EVIS team consists mainly of researchers from eight European countries and was led by Alma Papić from the Croatian Olympic Committee.
