CIEH Workshop: Euro 2016, Economics and Football
2016-06-10 | Henley Business School, University of Reading, United Kingdom
Sport, and football in particular, is big business. Local football clubs are institutions central to their communities, even the clubs that compete across Europe in the most lucrative competitions. Football provides reasons for people of all ages and all walks of life to get together, be it to kick a ball around or to watch others kicking a ball around. The 2016 European Championships in France will be a boon for retailers of all types this summer, and indeed England will be cheered on by our firms more for the revenue generating potential of a successful campaign than necessarily for the sporting success. Either way, football is big business not least for economists: it provides opportunities to test economic theories, but also contexts in which to apply economic reasoning and impact outcomes.

Workshop on Fairness in Sports
2018-04-12 10:00 - 16:30 (Europe/Helsinki) | Ghent University, Tweekerkenstraat 2, Ghent, Belgium
The “Fairness in Sports” workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners with an interest in sports research, and fairness issues in particular.
Fairness in sport is not just about assigning the top prizes to the worthiest competitors. It is also about the way the competition itself is organized. How to design rules that do not favor certain competitors? How to design a schedule of play that a priori offers similar chances to each participant? How to reconcile various (often conflicting) requests expressed by the stakeholders? It seems that as financial interests in sports increase, fairness is increasingly under pressure, and research on fairness issues in sports is becoming more and more relevant.
The workshop focusses on scientific methods to achieve greater fairness in sports, both from a theoretical and a practical point of view. Topics will include i.a. tournament scheduling and rule design.
The workshop will be a 1-day event, which will take place on April 12th 2018, and is hosted at Ghent University in Belgium.
Keynote speakers:
Prof. Jörn Schönberger (Technical University of Dresden)
Prof. Mario Guajardo (NNH Norwegian School of Economics).
Prof. Mehmet Ismail (King’s College London).
The workshop will not have an open call for papers, but if you have interesting work to present related to fairness in sports, you are more than welcome to contact Dries.Goossens@UGent.be.

Disseminate the latest results and state of the art mathematical, statistical and computer science methods from researchers to academics, students, and especially to teams and industry
Communicate past work, types of data, challenges, and insights from the sports industry community to gathered researchers
Highlight the role that sophisticated analytical methods will likely play in the sports industry in the near future
Encourage and inspire students and other researchers to find new and innovative ways to apply the latest mathematical, statistical and computer science methods to the sports industry
Provide pathways for industry and researchers to utilize funding organizations to financially support future research, employment opportunities and internships

Invited Talks

Two days before the workshop begins, undergraduate students (with a graduate student mentor) will be split into teams and given a large, rich, and complex data set. Teams will work around the clock for 48 hours to find insights in the data. A specific problem to solve with the data will not be provided.
After two days of intense data wrangling, analysis, and presentation design, each team is allowed a few minutes and no more than two slides to impress a panel of judges. A Cash prize will be awarded. The winning team will be invited to give a longer presentation on Day 2 to the workshop attendees.
Networking and Recruitment Lunch
Following the panel on Friday, teams, industry, academics and students will be able to participate in a networking lunch session. This is an excellent opportunity for industry and researchers to exchange ideas and discuss potential collaborations. It will also provide industry a forum to recruit talented and motivated students from across technical disciplines.
