    Assessing and Driving Innovation in Sport Organisations Across Europe

    Join us in revolutionizing sports innovation across Europe!

    The Sport Innovation Index project aims to assess the innovation level of sport organizations, helping them improve governance, compare results, and excel in innovation. Inspired by the European Innovation Scoreboard and the Dutch Sport Innovation Monitor, the index will help public authorities strengthen their policies in sport innovation. It provides a quick innovation self-assessment tool for local and regional sport organizations, small businesses, and public and private organizations, while mapping sport innovation throughout Europe.

    This project aims to create a tool to assess the degree of innovation of sport organizations, with the overall goal of helping them to improve their governance, to compare innovative results over time or with other organizations, to excel in innovation, and to establish the new state of the art. The Sport Innovation Index will also help public authorities (e.g., municipalities, regions, and ministries of sports) in strengthening and improving their policies in the field of sport innovation. The project is inspired by the European Innovation Scoreboard and is built upon the model of the Dutch Sport Innovation Monitor, whose creators are part of this consortium. The Sport Innovation Index aims to determine precise indicators to ascertain the innovation capacity of sport-related organizations. It seeks to create a quick innovation self-assessment tool (a platform) for local and regional sport organizations, small businesses, and public and private organizations in general. Users will receive an instant diagnosis of their degree of innovation and guidance on how to improve their governance in the domain of innovation. By collecting user data, we aim to map sport innovation throughout Europe.
