2. Asser-CSHR Online Summer Programme 2025: International Sport and Human Rights. Since 2022, T.M.C. Asser Instituut (The Hague), in collaboration with the Centre for Sport and Human Rights, has organised a yearly summer course on sport and human rights. This 4th online edition (21 – 23 and 26 – 28 May 2025) brings together speakers from academia and practice (including sport body representatives, athletes, civil society actors) to give participants a balance between theoretical knowledge and practical application. This year, the programme will involve a multidisciplinary discussion of the intersection of sport and human rights with contemporary topics of governance, mega-sporting events, gender, e-sports, remedy, and dispute resolution. Through a mix of interactive sessions and productive exchanges, they will discuss what a world of responsible sport looks like. Reflections of previous programmes can be found here and here. Registrations are open, and all details can be found here. A limited number of scholarships are also available: details can be found here.
