Our DCMENTOR project was presented during the 2nd UNISPORT National Conference “University and Sport,” held in Lecce, Italy, on March 14–15, 2024. The event brought together academics, administrators, and policy-makers working in the field of university sports, providing an important platform to discuss strategies for supporting student-athletes within higher education institutions.
As part of the conference, Prof. Laura Capranica, President of EAS (European Athlete as Student) and one of our project partners, introduced the DCMENTOR project to the participants. She shared key insights about the project’s objectives, current outcomes, and practical examples of implementation within universities. Her presentation highlighted successful European practices that help student-athletes balance academic achievement with athletic careers.
