The speakers representing our Faculty were Wiktoria Stefanowicz (University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland) with the topic Spectator Disorders in Poland and Anna Radka (University of Warsaw, Poland) with the topic Anti-Discrimination Laws and Sport. The conference was introduced by a short presentation by prof. Richard Parrish, Dr. Andrea Cattaneo and Adam Pedlebury from Edge Hill University (UK) and Assoc. prof. dr. Vanja Smokvina from our Faculty, which marked 30 years since the decision of the European Court in Luxembourg in the famous Bosman case.
The conference was held as one of the project activities within the NPOO project NEMUS: (In)visible minorities in sport: promoting equality, inclusion, rights and equity (uniri-iz-25-113), funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU.
