The theoretical courses which are offered during this Minor are Sports Sponsoring, Media and Sports, Corporate Social Responsibility and International Sports and Events. Besides these courses we will have workshops during the semester related to Consultancy skills.

Sport Sponsoring & Media The international sport industry is developing rapidly. Major companies such as Coca Cola and Vodafone spend major budgets on sponsoring worldwide sport events, such as Olympic Games and World Championships, as a part of their company goals and strategies as well local sport events. There are, however large differences between countries, differences in types of sports but also in company goals and strategies. The industry is influenced by economic developments, also the increasing influence of internet plays an important role. Standard sponsor contracts no longer meet the expectations of sponsors. The sports marketing manager of today needs to understand these mechanisms and incorporate them within the company strategies. The course Sponsoring & Media introduces the student in this complex market. Corporate Social Responsibility The Sports and Events Business operates in a globalised world with specific new challenges. The theme CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) is about the fact that companies have a responsibility towards society and to their environment. Today every company or organization has to find a balance between the 3 P’s: People, Planet and Profit. But how can they do that? Is it possible to build stadiums green? How can we organize a green event? And how can sponsors use that concept in their exposure? We will also pay attention to Fundraising and Sports for Development with organizations such as Right to Play and Dance4life.

International Sport Events This course focuses on large global sport events. Whether single sport or multi sport, World Championship or Grand Slam, the impact of large scale sport events is something which attracts millions of dollars in sponsoring, attracting high attention value through various kinds of media and have a big impact on our society. Metropolitan cities and emerging countries use global sport events as a means to rejuvenate cities and/or fast-track the implementation of changes needed to bring a country forward. The bidding process related to large global event is an industry by itself, having ‘leaving a lasting legacy’ as leverage for millions of dollars needed for investments. What are these legacies and do legitimize those investments. During the course ‘International Sport Events’ we will take a closer look at global events such as World Cup Soccer and the process of the bid for the World Cup Soccer 2018/2022 Holland/Belgium. We will look at the London 2012 Olympic Games, the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and we will look into the Dutch Olympic Ambitions for 2028. Other events such as the Grand Slams of tennis, the US Open and/or Roland Garros, will also be examined. Live Music & Dance events The event part of the lecture series is dedicated both to the live music sector as to the dance business. It will cover characteristics and structure of both domains. No prior or specialized knowledge is required to enter this course. Lectures are structured around the following themes.

I.Why do we like events? In this introductory meeting we will look into the sociological and psychological background of the striking popularity and commercial success of events in the Netherlands.

II. Mapping the international scene. A closer look at the live entertainment industry will not do without considering role and position of

agencies and artists, changing business models and some traits of touring.

III. The business of Dance. This class offers a treaty of scope and depth of dance as a field of enterprise in the Netherlands.

IV. Branding, Identity & Event Marketing. Within this topic we will be profiling some of the major Dutch events by alternately switching from birds-eye-view to looking-glass-view.
