Within the EU Erasmus+ sports programme (603523-EPP-1-2018-1-SI-SPO-SCP ), the Athletes Friendly Education – AFE Collaborative Partnership (https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/projects/eplus-project-details#project/603523-EPP-1-2018-1-SI-SPO-SCP) coordinated by the Slovenian Olympic Committee in cooperation with the Deutsche Olympische Akademie Willi Daume (DOA), the Pomorski Fakultet u Rijeci, the Odbojkarska Federacija na Makedonija, the EUSA Institute, the Hrvatska Olimpijska Akademija, the Comite Olympique Et Interfederal Belge ASBL, the Univerza v Mariboru and the Comite Olimpico De Portugal, published the Athletes Friendly Education Book (https://www.verlagdrkovac.de/volltexte/12146/12147_Athletes_Friendly_Education_OpenAccess.pdf) and the Athletes Friendly Education Handbook: Award for Educational Institutions Supporting the Dual Career of Athletes (https://athletes.friendly.edu.olympic.si/results/athletes-friendly-education-handbook), which address the topic of athlete’s education requiring a continuous planning, organizing, and improving a system of adaptations included in the educational process and infrastructure.

These adaptations are implemented voluntarily and in a benevolent, systematic, comprehensive, and transparent manner with the explicit aim to help athletes engage in sport, and simultaneously achieve goals and competencies set out in the educational program and thus complete their education. In particular, suggested aspects to be considered when working with athletes encompass systemic measures on the state level, the role of educational institutions and their evaluation, the student’s motivation, the role of e-learning in supporting elite athletes, and the effect of curriculum adaptations on overall academic success.

Further information on empirical research is available in the “Dual Career Development Perspective: Factors Affecting Quality of Post-sport Career Transition of employed Olympic Athletes”  published in the peer-review journal Frontiers in Psychology (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.800031/full).
