This year’s conference returns to Falun, the hometown of Bengt Nybelius, one of the founders of EAS. It also focuses on creating and developing ideas for EAS activities with the future of our student athletes at the heart of them.
Building on the success of previous meetings, EAS 2019 will feature a variety of sessions, round-table discussions and networking opportunities. These will allow us to share information on how, in this fast-changing global climate, our members and stakeholders work with student athletes; on university and school sports systems; on government and policy; and with the student athletes themselves. The aim is to provide a platform in a stimulating social setting for the exchange of knowledge and expertise on current issues, and practical challenges and solutions.
The conference will take place in the heart of Sweden, in the region of Dalarna, in the cultural, historic and sporting city of Falun. A renowned World Heritage Site, Falun offers the quintessential Swedish experience, with red wooden houses, beautiful lakes and forests, outdoor sports on your doorstep, and local edible Swedish delicacies. You will be treated to several social events around the city, including a visit to the Lugnet Ski Museum atop the ski jump towers with panoramic views of Falun and Lake Runn. Don’t forget your walking shoes, as it will be our honour to share with you the natural surroundings of Falun.
We look forward to seeing you in Falun!

Program content
The conference will commence with a presentation by the second founder of EAS, Risto Keskitalo, on the history and ideas behind EAS. The rest of the day’s presentations will focus on Dalarna University and Sweden.
We would like to invite students from the universities of the members of the EAS network to take part. They will attend a workshop on this first day, when they will discuss their experiences with and thoughts on Dual Career. The outcome of this workshop will be presented on Thursday.
Dalarna University specialises in online learning (e-learning), and EAS members have expressed interest in learning about its experiences and development. We have therefore invited the University’s Next Generation Learning Centre (NGLC) to give a presentation on the current and potential use of online learning platforms.
On Thursday, our focus is the EU and Europa, with a presentation by Agata Dziarnowska, Policy Officer in the Sport Unit of the European Commission. The day’s sessions will look at EU strategies regarding sports, followed by the outcomes of Dual Career projects and workshops to develop ideas for projects and cooperation between members.
The final day, Friday, will include presentations on balancing studies and training, and on perspectives on Dual Career in secondary schools. The recipient of the Bengt Nybelius scholarship will also give a presentation.
The conference will close with the EAS General Assembly.
Evenings
Wednesday: We will meet and take the “bergbanan” (funicular railway) to the ski-jump tower and visit the Nordic Ski World Championship Museum. There will then be a light Swedish-themed dinner.
Thursday: We will meet at Scandic Lugnet Hotel for appetisers (at your own cost). At 19.00, we will walk to the evening’s venue, “Magasinet”, for a light dinner and social evening, which will include the award of the Bengt Nybelius Scholarship.

Travel and Accommodation
Travel
Falun is located 250 km from Stockholm and 220 km from Arlanda Airport, Sweden’s main international airport, just outside Stockholm. The easiest travel option is the direct train to Falun from either Arlanda Airport or Stockholm Central Station. There is also a rail link from Copenhagen.
Trains depart directly from Arlanda Airport from an underground platform in the airport terminal Sky City. Buy your ticket in advance to avoid high prices. At a slightly higher cost, you can choose to buy a refundable/transferable train ticket just in case your flight is delayed. Give yourself at least an hour between your flight’s scheduled landing and the train departure. Also, check what time the final Falun train departs from Arlanda Airport to avoid having to overnight there or in Stockholm.
Bromma and Skavsta Airports are also options; however, it is less simple and takes longer to connect to the train from these. Stockholm itself is easy to access from Arlanda Airport should you wish to do some city sightseeing: the Arlanda Express train takes 20 minutes into Stockholm; an airport bus takes 50 minutes.
Alternatively, you can rent a car and take either the scenic route via Sala and Avesta or the main highway via Uppsala and Gävle: both take about 2.5 to 3 hours.
Once in Falun, you will probably not need a car as the university is within a 15-minute walk from the town centre, and there are good bus connections/taxis should you require transport.
