The 4th Transnational Partners’ Meeting was hosted by the University of Trento’s Addiction Science Lab in Rovereto, in the Trentino region, Italy and took place over two days on 15-16 January 2026. The meeting brought project partners together to review progress and define the next steps of the initiative, with a particular focus on finalising the Framework for the Partnership for Clean Sport Tertiary Education and its implementation guidelines.
Discussions also centred on the University of Trento case study linked to the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, highlighting its long-term legacy for the promotion of anti-doping education, as well as on the organisation of the project’s final conference, scheduled to take place in Cyprus in March 2026.
Following the partners’ meeting, the event “Towards Milano-Cortina 2026: Anti-Doping Education and Mental Health” was held. The event was organised by the University of Trento’s Addiction Science Lab and provided EPCS-TE partners with the opportunity to present the project’s findings to date and to explore how effective synergies between National Anti-Doping Organisations and universities can be developed. The event was attended by EPCS-TE partners, along with delegates from the Universities of Trento and Verona, and the Italian Paralympic Committee.
