The goal is to prepare young athletes, especially beginners, to deal with appropriate forms of falling. It is intended to implement a strategy that simultaneously achieves the primary result of training the skills and competencies necessary for the learning of new technical gestures and that, secondly, it is possible to make the new techniques acquired an integral part of the skills of a skater's motor technique.

Our aim is to record, analyse and describe data on the preparedness, quality and resilience of neonatal health services - with a specific focus around the time of delivery, as measured both from the perspective of women and health workers - in 17 countries in the WHO European Region, at different stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The secondary objectives are the following (1) to develop tools and methods to measure, through rapid online surveys, the quality of MN health care in different countries and their settings and (2) establish and consolidate, through activities related to the other objectives, a research network.

Ultimately, the results will be used as a guide for the elaboration of guidelines on maternal and neonatal care in a hospital context and to disseminate the results of the project to health entities, so that they can act in an informed manner in order to achieve the WHO vision: “all pregnant women and new-borns should receive quality care during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum”.

The main objective of this Collaborative Partnership is to provide evidence-based information on industrial relations in sport to Sport Management Bodies, national legislators and the European Union, in order to improve the good governance of industrial relations of athletes in Olympic sports in Europe.

First, this project aims to understand the legal and socio-political situation of Olympic athletes in different national contexts of 29 states (EU member states, plus the United Kingdom and Norway). Based on this research, the project then seeks in its second dimension of evaluation current practices in national and European contexts, based on the principles of good leadership in the labour relations of athletes in Olympic sports in Europe. The final part of the project aims to improve the leadership of the labour relations of Olympic athletes. This refers to a practical and policy-making dimension of the project. Based on the best practices identified, policy recommendations are formulated.
