IV MASMACOM EDITION

After the first three editions of the Master in Sports Marketing and Communication that Euroleague Basketball has organized in close cooperation with Ca'Foscari University in Venice, Italy, the fourth edition will start in February of 2010 with the news of its transformation into first-level status.

INTERNATIONAL MASTER IN SPORTS MARKETING AND COMMUNICATION

After confirming the high acceptance that Masmacom has had in Europe and other countries around the world, Euroleague Basketball and Ca'Foscari University have made all program adaptations necessary for the course to become a first-level university master.

These adaptations have provoked certain changes in the agenda and duration of the course, which will otherwise retain its education system of alternating on-line and in-person lessons.

The opening session will take place in Barcelona from February 24 to 28, 2010 and the course will conclude in Venice from December 15 to 18, 2010.

All the course information necessary may be found at www.masmacom.eu, while questions maybe be directed to the e-mail address info@masmacom.eu
