Gathering for the first time of its four-year mandate, the European Athletics Member Federation Development Commission met in Copenhagen, Denmark, from 18-20 September, to clarify the scope of the commission and propose the education programme for 2016.

The meeting began with a presentation of the new Member Federation Development organisation and strategy by European Athletics Vice President and Commission Chair Jean Gracia.

It was decided that five expert groups are tasked with reporting in the areas of running, Member Federation structuration, clubs, education, youth and running. A sixth expert group responsible for high performance will be created in 2016.

The commission then proposed the education programme for 2016, still to be approved by the European Athletics Executive Board and Council.

Among other topics was the Running for All initiative and the involvement of European Athletics during the inaugural European Week of Sport (EWoS) held from 7-13 September across 34 countries.

Working closely with the European Commission in Brussels, European Athletics encouraged organisers of 127 races across the European Union to get on board and help promote the initiative designed to raise awareness about the benefits of sport and physical activity.

Member Federation Development Commission members Jean Gracia (Chair, FRA), Nick Davis (IRL), Piotr Dlugosielski (POL), Alfio Giomi (ITA), Curt Högbert (SWE), Jakob Larsen (DEN), Ana Lukovic (SRB), Jean-Pierre Schoebel (MON), Charlotte Svensen (NOR), Erich Teigamägi (EST), Vadim Zelichenok (RUS), and Marc Sintes representing the Head Office as Deputy Chair.

The next Member Federation Development Commission meeting is scheduled for the 1-3 April 2016 in Rome.
