Main activities and outcomes

The AEHESIS project was successfully closed at the end of September 2007. All latest aspects regarding the project can be obtained at www.enssee.eu.

The main activities of the AEHESIS project were to map all sport science programmes in the four designated sport science areas (Sport Management, Physical Education, Health & Fitness and Sport Coaching) provided by Higher Education Institutes in Europe, to draw up a general overview of the implementation of the Bologna process within those programmes and to compile a report on all research findings.

Further outcomes were:

• A common European database containing all sport science institutes accessible for all stakeholders

• An electronic communication environment including a newsletter and all related web services

• A living European communication network

• A commonly accepted framework of professional and learning outcomes in the area of sport science

• A methodology for analysing and comparing university programmes across Europe

• Case studies of good practice and innovation

• A model curriculum structure for each identified area

Benefit of the project

Concrete outputs through completing the AEHESIS project’s online questionnaires were:

• The use of the best practice curriculum model designed individually for each designated sport science area and developed from the findings of the “AEHESIS Curriculum Questionnaire”

• The use of a high quality database reflecting all programmes offered in the European sport science sector based on the information collected via the “AEHESIS Institutional Questionnaire”

Target groups

Target groups regarding all outcomes are primarily sport science institutes, sport organisations, students, teachers and policy makers at universities as well as all institutions dealing with education and training in sport science.
