Alberto Madella Scholarship

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 Awards Committee will make decisions based on participants’ needs and plans for contributing to the conference. The Alberto Madella Scholarship Fund allows students to apply for 500 Euros to help them attend the EASM Conference and EASM Student Seminar or EASM PhD Student Seminar.

Alberto Madella (1956 – 2008) was appointed an EASM Honorary Member in recognition of the commitment, enthusiasm and energy he demonstrated in the field of sport management. He worked for many years with EASM in various roles and served as General Secretary from 1996 to 2004. His passion for the subject and his dedication to teaching and research inspired many scholars, students and academics throughout the world.
