Sport & Society has a long standing relationship with University of Johannesburg (UJ), in particular with regards to sport for development. This week the Dean of the Faculty of Health, prof. Andre Swart, and Frank van Eekeren on behalf of Sport & Society confirmed their academic collaboration by signing a Memorandum of Understanding in Johannesburg.

Sport for Development

The main objective of this MoU is the joint development of the Global Master's programme 'Sport for Development'. This programme aims at educating the future global sport leaders and global citizens, who can give way to the contribution of (international) sport organizations to societal transformation.

In October 2016, University of Tsukuba (Japan) also confirmed their partnership. Other partner universities will be announced soon.
