The Alberto Madella Scholarship Fund was created in recognition of the contribution to EASM and the field of sport management by our colleague Alberto Madella. The scholarship is designed to support current graduate students to participate in EASM conferences and help promote the work of the Association.

The EASM Early Career Scholarship targets PhD students and early career researchers from lower income countries as well as countries that are traditionally less represented within EASM.  The local organisers will award up to a total of 5 scholarships each year, covering the conference fee as well as accommodation during the conference.

This award is a competition organised by European Sport Management Quarterly (ESMQ) and is sponsored by Routledge Journals. The New Researcher Award is for the best original theoretical or empirical advance and significant unpublished contribution in sport management.
