This event marks the completion of the SIGGS 3.0 project (Supporting the Implementation of Good Governance in Sport Organisations), co-funded by the European Union, and will serve as a key platform to reflect on achievements, discuss recent developments in sport governance, and introduce the new SIGGS 3.0 self-evaluation tool.

Attendees will hear first-hand testimonials from early users on how the tool has improved governance in their organisations.
