Intention of our diverse/interdisciplinary research team: illuminate the difficulties & conflicts that exist in this space, & how NGBs/IFs could better navigate the complex & complicated policy implementation landscape, without the intrusion of personal political agenda #easm2023

@sethkirby @EASMBoard @LboroSSEHS Thanks, Seth! It was a busy week! I mean, I we sat next to each other during one presentation, but there was no time to catch up! 🙈🤓

@sharrond62 Nice graphic, Sharron. I’d like to include next time I talk about this issue (sport management/rule-writing/policy implementation perspective, which - at time of presenting last year - I summarised as a ‘sh*t show’ 😬😅) - where’s the source? Has it been compiled for your book?
