The European Partnership for Clean Sport in Tertiary Education (“EPCS-TE”) project was presented at the webinar Bridging the Gap – Integrating Anti-Doping Education into Sport-Related Higher Education, held on Tuesday, 3 February 2026. The webinar, organised by the Institute of National Anti-Doping Organisations (iNADO), brought together representatives from 35 national and regional anti-doping organisations, alongside participants from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), sport organisations, government bodies, and universities across Europe and beyond.
The EPCS-TE project was introduced by Dr Michael Petrou, President of the Cyprus Anti-Doping Authority (CyADA) and Project Coordinator. During his presentation, Dr Petrou outlined the project’s background, highlighted its main actions, and summarised the results achieved to date. Other speakers included Dr Umutcan Kayikci, researcher and member of the Turkish Anti-Doping Commission; Dr Ruta Banytė, President of the Lithuanian Anti-Doping Agency; and Dr Patrick Stolpmann, Executive Director of the International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education.
