Funded by the ERASMUS+Sport programme (101134043), the FIND ME project aims to structure an evidence-based European platform specifically tailored for dual career at university level through a joint effort of five European universities (Faculty of Sport and Physical Education University of Nis, Coordinator; University of Chieti-Pescara “Gabriele D’Annunzio”, Italy; Faculty of Sport University of Ljubljana, Slovenia; University Alexandru Ioan Cuza Din Iasi, Romania; Universidad Internacional De La Rioja, Spain), an impact-driven organisation (Collective Innovation – COLIN, Norway) and EAS.
On March 10, 2025, the Find Me Team organized an online meeting to discuss key milestones, to address challenges, and to assess the overall alignment of activities with the project’s objectives. Based on the deskwork and fieldwork at national levels in Italy, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, and Spain (https://findmeproject.net/#flipbook-df_626/1/), and the recent publication of findings of a survey on the views of 321student-athletes’ and 43 dual career university experts (https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/sports-and-active-living/articles/10.3389/fspor.2025.1507951/full?utm_source=F-NTF), the team is planning the creation of an online platform providing information about dual career opportunities at university level, discussing its technical characteristics and requirements to ensure its functionality and accessibility.
