As part of Euroleague Basketball's ongoing strategy of developing professionals in the sporting business, we

decided to provide top of the class specialists as lecturers from all segments of our sport in different avenues.
An educational e-learning platform was chosen to offer coaches around the world the opportunity to be a part
of our program. Besides the internationalisation of our program via e-learning our goal was to offer a complementary
study for professionals besides their daily obligations within their jobs.

For years, with the cooperation of sporting and educational entities across the world, Euroleague Basketball has
been organizing forums where professionals can meet and exchange ideas to move our sport forward to an even
better future. These have included coaches seminars and clinics, symposiums for media members in the press,
television and marketing, as well as the Master in Sports Marketing and Communication that Euroleague Basketball
organises with the University of Ca' Foscari in Venice, Italy, which will enjoy a fifth edition in 2011.
