The SAMEurope Project, Student Athletes Erasmus+ Mobility in Europe

In June 2022, INSA Lyon, with the support of the European Union, joined forces with four renowned partner universities to launch a project aiming to facilitate and support the mobility of high-level student athletes: Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany), University of Jyväskylä (Finland), Universitat Jaume I (Spain), and Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden).

The project aims to create useful and freely accessible tools to better support high-level student athletes in their mobility projects, making it easier for them to find a university where they can pursue both their academic studies and sports practices abroad.
