We kick-off Day 2 of ESEA 2023 at 9am this morning. More than 150 presenters and co-authors from around that world have papers at our conference on the main UCC campus in Cork.
The conference is truly international. As well as a strong presence from Ireland, the UK and Europe, others have travelled from the United States, Canada, Ecuador, Columbia, Taiwan, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
Yesterday's afternoon sessions started with a keynote address from Prof. Jane Ruseski of West Virginia University and was followed by parallel session focused on the themes of Sustainability, Labour, Performances, Management and Ownership.
Today's morning session turned to the themes of Officiating and Rules, Events, Competition Design and Competition. Our mid-morning session now focus on the Economics of Football, Participation, Volunteering and Funding, and Performance.
Our quad is the location for this event and was looking fantastic this morning shortly before kick-off.
