We are delighted to share the news that the 14th European Sport Economics Association (ESEA) Conference, held at University College Cork in August 2023, received an award at the 2025 Fáilte Ireland Conference Ambassador Recognition Awards recently. The event was delivered by the local organising committee — David Butler, Robbie Butler and Pat Massey — on behalf of the ESEA Board.
This achievement reflects the collective effort and support of everyone involved, and we are grateful for the collaboration that made ESEA 2023 such a success. The gathering included the annual PhD workshop, with candidates from Europe, North America and Asia receiving direction and advice from leading academics in the field.

The main conference lasted for three days, beginning with a keynote address by Professor Jane Ruseski (John Chambers College of Business and Economics, West Virginia University) — the first female keynote speaker at the conference.
The conference concluded with a keynote address by Professor Alex Bryson (IZA Institute of Labor Economics, University College London (UCL)), who is also a Research Fellow at the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (London) and a Rutgers Research Faculty Fellow.
Over 100 academics and visitors attended the events of the 5-day programme, which included a gala dinner at Cork’s iconic Jacob’s on the Mall. In recognition of these events, the Irish tourism board — Fáilte Ireland — presented Robbie with an award, which he received on behalf of co-organisers David and Pat
