Overview
The 20th World-wide IASL Sports Law Congress will be hosted by the Hellenic Center of Research on Sports Law (EKEAD) at the University of Athens, Greece, on December 11-13, 2014. The aim of the Congress is to bring together scholars, researchers, students and professionals interested in the Sports Law study of the Lex Sportiva – Lex Olympica and Sports Jurisdiction Experience - Development & Perspective, who are invited to submit abstracts for Congress presentation. Papers in the area of Sports law, Lex Sportiva , International Sports Law and Special topics of Sports law as well as other disciplines that contribute to our legal cultural understanding of the Sports Law, are particularly encouraged. Participants can present on sports law topics within broad streams of research areas. Areas of interest are included in https://iasl2014athens.com.
The EKEAD was established in 1990 as an independent academic and research institution in order to become a forum, where academics and researchers - from all over the world - could meet in Athens to exchange ideas on their research and to discuss future developments in their disciplines. Since 1990, EKEAD has organized many National and International Congresses, Symposiums, Seminars and events. It has also published many electronic editions and books https://www.ekead.gr/index.php/el.

Edited Collection
IASL and EKEAD will produce a peer-reviewed collection of edited contributions from the Symposium papers, as it has also happened in the past. In an effort to foster this dissemination worldwide, following a global trend in scholarly production, the Edited Collection will be provided to all delegates in electronic format. As well, scholarly distribution reinforces IASL- EKEAD' positive stance on open access policies (https://www.iasl-journals.com/index.php/en ). Presenters who wish their paper to be considered for the Edited Collection will be required to submit their full papers by November 20th, 2014.
