ESEA – EUROPEAN SPORT ECONOMICS ASSOCIATION

The European Sport Economics Association (ESEA) is a scientific association founded on October 4^th 2010 in Cologne, Germany. It pursues the goal of promoting communications between scientists as well as between scientists and practitioners working in the field of sports economics, and of demonstrating to the fields of science, day-to-day practice, politics and the general public the benefits that are derived from appropriate research and academic education in Europe. The purpose is predominantly realized by holding an annual conference and publishing documents in the field of sports economics. The next ESEA conference will be online only from August 25th-27th 2021 and be hosted by Bielefeld University in Germany. A special issue of the International Journal of Sport Finance, the official ESEA journal, is dedicated to publishing selected papers from this conference. In 2022, the ESEA conference will be hosted by the Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences from August 24th – August 26th.
