Much more than a Think tank
Sport and Citizenship is a leading European Think tank entirely dedicated to the societal challenges of sport. It bases its analyses on a network of over a hundred experts from all scientific disciplines and formulates concrete proposals for action aimed at public decision-makers and the business world.
Founded 18 years ago, Sport and Citizenship has specialized in measuring the social and societal impact of sport. It is also plays an active role with several European Union projects that help make sport a driver of social action and sustainable development in Europe.
Sport and Citizenship is also the initiator of an annual conference in Paris (Conférences citoyennes du Sport), a get-together fostering dialogue and action for all those who share the conviction that sport is a major engine for societal transformation.
“The DNA of Sport and Citizenship is to involve and challenge our political institutions and the business world in order to promote a movement-based society and a form of sport that acts as a vehicle for social change.”
Didier Poulmaire, Chairman of Sport and Citizenship
