Josef Nilsson about Sport Management and EASM

Written by jacky on August 20, 2018. Posted in Sport.

My name is Josef Nilsson, 24 years old from Norrkoping, Sweden. Currently I am studying Sport Management at the bachelor’s degree level at Malmo University, Sweden.

Why I got into Sport Management? Well, as a former ice hockey goalkeeper, my career came to an end due to numerous concussions. I wanted to work in the sports environment and develop skills and knowledge that could be useful for my work career. Thus, Sport Management became an easy choice for me to start studying after my player career.

Thanks to great work in school and establishing great relationships, I got the opportunity to be part of the Student Seminars at the European Sport Management Conference. I’m really looking forward to meeting all of the other sport management students, listen to their stories and make some new friends in the field of sport management.

I am looking forward to see everyone at the conference. And for those who are not participating at the Student and Phd Seminar nor speaking at the conference, try to enjoy the conference as a spectator. There are very interesting people with good thoughts and knowledge. So, if you are in Malmö, Sweden through 5^th-8^thSeptember, please make it to Malmo Live and the Sport Management Conference.

EASM Summer School 2018

Written by jacky on June 16, 2018. Posted in Announcements.

Kick Off in Madrid

After eight years at the campus of the University of Bayreuth, the 9th edition of the EASM Summer School took place in the wonderful city of Madrid. 61 students from all over the world were offered an exciting and informative program in and off the lecture rooms of the European University of Madrid in May 2018.

Besides an interesting academic content, the program also provided an extensive social program that perfectly fit into the network character of the EASM Summer School. Events like a typical Spanish opening dinner and the closing dinner at the Real Café Bernabeu gave participants the chance to unite and enlarge their personal and professional network. Being in one of the Sport Management hubs in Europe students also joined in a guided tour through the new Wanda Metropolitano, the tradition-steeped Santiago Bernabeu stadium as well as Caja Mágica tennis venue, and a live basketball game.

EASM Summer School has been a great opportunity for students to network and make new friends.
