Innosport

Innosport eu (http://www.innosport.eu/uk/innosport.asp) relates to an FP6 funded project (€1.5million) that examined the potential for Innovation in Sport at the Pan-European level. 

The 2 year project was completed in early 2008 and one of the resultant outcomes has been an on-going Scoping Study aimed at the potential role of Innovation in Sport in Ireland being undertaken by SESRI. Outcomes of this study, expected in late 2008, will be used to inform policy-makers of the potential role of the Sport Industry in Ireland. 

At the European level, the Innosport project is being evaluated to determine the future potential to establish a “European Platform”, likely to be called the “European Platform for Sports Innovation”, (EPSI).
