EU Expert Groups "Education and Training in Sport" and "Anti-Doping": reports available

The Expert Groups are among the six Expert Groups established by the Council's Resolution on an EU Work Plan for Sport for 2011-2014 to carry out specific tasks within the 2011-2014 timeframe. They are composed of experts appointed by the Member States with support from the Commission and report to the Council Working Party on Sport.

The Group on Education and Training in Sport is mandated by the Council to prepare a proposal for European guidelines on dual careers (the combination of high-level sports training and general education) and to follow up the inclusion of sport-related qualifications in National Qualification Frameworks (NQFs) with reference to the European Qualification Framework (EQF). At its first meeting [180 KB] , the Group agreed on a work schedule that includes two concrete deliverables.
