University of Rome Tor Vergata
The University of Rome Tor Vergata was founded in 1982 in the southern part of Rome. The area chosen for the new university, a large open space in the countryside, has allowed the university to expand and develop a wide access network far from the city’s congested traffic. The search for quality and efficiency was not the only criterion used for building these facilities, but also to achieve effective organization and planning of its academic and research programmes.

The School is currently stepping up its efforts to strengthen its academic programs, while improving research and international relations. Its ultimate goal is to emerge as an internationally recognized centre for research and higher education, and succeed in attracting bright students and scholars from all over Italy, as well as from other countries.

CEIS – Centre for Economics and International Studies
CEIS is an inter-departmental study centre in the "Tor Vergata" University of Rome. It was instituted in 1987 to study the problems of international economic interdependence with premises in the Faculty of Economics.
The focus of attention at the Centre is on activities and developments in the economic world depending on the attribution of a leading and indeed crucial role to international economic variables.
For its own specific ends, in the autonomous sphere of university life, the Centre promotes and co-ordinates scientific and training activities on the basis of interdisciplinary criteria, as well as working on agreements with other universities, national institutions and international bodies, organising workshops and conferences. It can also perform activities for third parties.
The research work is carried out both by the centre's own researchers and scholars from outside. The Centre's activities are organised according to the categories of observers and research sections. Every year a subject is selected for research with a view to the international workshops held at Villa Mondragone.
Fundamental to the work carried out by the Centre are the post-graduate teaching activities with the 'Master' formula and its publishing activity.

Sports Management Unit
1. Scenario
The growth of sport, as a phenomenon in both advanced and developing nations, can be seen throughout the world. It is estimated that, in Italy, over 16 million sportsmen and women participate more or less on an occasional basis, and even more either attend live at the sports event or else watch on television.
Encompassing both the professional and amateur realms, sport in terms of volume of business now ranks fifth among industrial sectors with an annual turnover of over 25.000 millions euro. There are over 70.000 sports clubs and subscribers to sports federations number over 3,5 million. Furthermore, in terms of employment athletes, managers, referees number over 500.000 and there are over 50.000 employees in sports goods and apparel manufacturers. Then there are over 10.000 sports shops. In sports journalism 6.000 are employed to service 5,5 million sport readers. All of which generates more than 3.000 millions euro in indirect taxation.
In contrast to these figures there is still today no suitable training in sports management, often leaving the responsibility to people with a serious sports background or from another and above all varied sectors. On the contrary, the growing globalisation of competition in this sector requires the formation of highly qualified “human capital” capable of organising sport to world class levels as has already happened in both amateur and professional sport.
2. Presentation
The Sports Management Unit is the Unit specialised in the sports industry, within the Department CEIS (Centre for Economic and International Studies) of the Faculty of Economics.
The interest of the Faculty in studying the sports industry began in 1995, when Professor Sergio Cherubini organised the first Conference in “Marketing of the professional sports organisations”; many other Conferences have been organised in the following years, leading to the publication of various books.
In 2001, the Master (post-graduate course) in Sports Economics and Management has been activated, now at its sixth edition. Further information is available on www.egesport.net
In 2004, a first Conference on “Marketing of the recreational boat“ has been organised and various other Conferences have followed it, leading to the publication of various books together with the Nautica Publisher. In 2005 the Nautical Market Observatory has been set up, available online on www.marketingnautico.net
