THE
PROGRAMME

The programme of the 2026 ASPC European Forum is structured around four main thematic areas that reflect the key challenges and priorities of high-performance sport in Europe.

​

The Forum will explore the role of research, innovation and development within Training Centres, highlighting how knowledge, technology and applied practice contribute to the evolution of high-performance environments. It will also address Paralympic sport, inclusion and specific needs, promoting a deeper understanding of integrated systems that support excellence across diverse athlete profiles.

​

A strong focus will be placed on governance, management and certification of Training Centres, examining organisational models, funding frameworks and quality standards that underpin sustainable and effective high-performance systems. Complementing this perspective, the programme will also explore leadership, people and sustainable performance, emphasising the human dimension of sport, including leadership, mental health, dual careers and long-term athlete development.

​

Throughout the Forum, these themes will be approached through a combination of expert presentations, moderated discussions and applied case studies, creating a dynamic environment that encourages reflection, exchange and collaboration between participants from different national contexts.

​

Rather than a sequence of isolated sessions, the programme is designed as a connected and coherent experience, where each thematic area contributes to a broader reflection on the future of Training Centres and high-performance sport in Europe.

​

The detailed agenda and confirmed speakers will be announced in due course, reflecting the Forum’s commitment to bringing together leading expertise and diverse perspectives from across the European high-performance landscape.
