"Leeds Beckett University has been part of the EOSE network for over ten years, and we have greatly valued the opportunity to contribute to European projects that encourage cross-border collaboration, learning and knowledge exchange. We are excited to build on these strong foundations and to continue working closely with our European neighbours, supported by the experience of our EOSE colleagues.“

"We were looking for an experienced partner in the sphere of EU funded projects and EOSE more than delivered. They managed to analyse the innovative educational outputs from the “PVGW” project in a clear and transparent way. We saw an immediate increase in the usage of the outputs after applying the modifications EOSE suggested. They took the time to understand our needs and the ones from our affiliated partners, the feedback from everyone involved was more than great. We wholeheartedly recommend EOSE to everyone we know and we are already continuing our fruitful cooperation through the follow up transnational project PVGW2.0."

"Working alongside EOSE has been a very fruitful opportunity to engage with the most updated labour-related sector needs and state of the art regarding the current situation of the sports employment market. During several years UPM have partnered with EOSE, we have been able to understand the bigger picture of the demands and expectations of employers, education providers and workers during the first decades of the current century. Collaborating with EOSE has brought us to the larger European context, and hopefully we have given them valuable and interesting information about the Spanish situation."

The various exchanges with European partners and privileged access to the results of the work carried out by EOSE have allowed us to develop a deeper understanding of the European context of employment in sport, its challenges, and its opportunities, and to put it into perspective with the situation in France.

"A one-year-long experience as an EOSE member has brought several positive moments. First, it was the annual Members’ Seminar and General Assembly full of new contacts, observing and sharing current occupational trends in European sports. We also appreciated an inspirational insight into the topic of micro-credentials at the Capacity Building Workshop. We are looking forward to new topics and cooperation that we could utilise in research and teaching on the potential of sports for tackling social problems, adapting it for people with specific needs and mainstreaming the good practice."
