What if a European event was not only a place to talk about projects, but a place to start building what comes next? This is the idea behind the 6th edition of EUSport LAB, taking place in Milan on 3–4 December 2026. Over two days, around 80 professionals and organisations from across Europe will come […]
In European cooperation, we tend to follow a very familiar sequence. A funding opportunity appears. An idea starts taking shape. Potential partners are identified. A consortium is built.

Many organisations active in international partnerships know this feeling. A new opportunity appears. A conversation starts. Potential partners are contacted. Roles are explored. Alignment begins.
