What is the IP-SPALC?

The Programme is designed to provide an overview of the sport performance

as a multidisciplinary structure, which reflects and depends on relevant
technical, physiological, psychological, ethical, political, economical,
organizational and legislative aspects.

The IP-SPALC will develop interdisciplinary communication for constant

involvement of the findings (sharing competences) and a multidisciplinary
educational approach (i.e., the same problem observed from different
disciplinary points of view), integrating theoretical (morning lectures) and
practical competences (afternoon workshops) to deal, at research and/or
intervention level, with the complexities of sport performance.

The quality of the program will be guaranteed by the involvement of Faculty

and Research Units from Institutions internationally recognized for
educational excellence and scientific merits, and the partnership with private
stakeholders in the sport area (i.e., Microgate, Sdam, Sensorize, Visa Sport).

Students are assigned to five work groups. At the end of each week, groups
are expected to present a report of their work.

What is the attendance policy?

1. Every student is expected to attend ALL lectures, workshops and

cultural/social activities

2. There are NO excused absences. All absences are counted: This is an

intensive programme

3. Every student will be asked to fill a day by day questionnaire to rate each
speaker on the content and the delivery of his/her presentation

4. Professors will be asked to fill a day by day questionnaire to rate each student
on the content and the delivery of his/her presentation

5. There is no “DROP AND ADD” in the IP-SPALC. When students are in the
program, they should be there for the entire period
