As part of Euroleague Basketball's ongoing strategy of developing professionals in the sporting business, we decided to provide top of the class specialists as lecturers from all segments of our sport in different avenues. An educational e-learning platform was chosen to offer coaches around the world the opportunity to be a part of our program. Besides the internationalisation of our program via e-learning our goal was to offer a complementary study for professionals besides their daily obligations within their jobs.

Euroleague Basketball Institute is an educational platform for all those who are interested in improving or developing their skills within the sporting world, and will offer students from across the globe the opportunity to have access to the leading specialists in the sector.

For years, with the cooperation of sporting and educational entities across the world, Euroleague Basketball has been organising forums where professionals can meet and exchange ideas to move our sport forward to an even better future. These have included coaches seminars and clinics, symposiums for media members in the press, television and marketing, as well as the EBI-Master in Sports Management & Marketing that Euroleague Basketball organises with the University of Ca' Foscari in Venice, Italy, which will enjoy a seventh edition in 2013.
