The European Judo Union (EJU) and the European Observatoire of Sport and Employment (EOSE) came together for the first time in Malta, on 21 December 2011, through an exploratory meeting to discuss the potential of collaboration between the two organisations.

This meeting gave the opportunity to present an update of the activities and missions of both organisations and also to start the discussion on future collaborations in the field of Education and Training.

In attendance were EJU General Secretary Mr Envic Galea and Dr Mike Callan. Aurelien Favre (Executive Director) and Ben Gittus (Director of Standards) represented EOSE.

Both parties recognised the meeting as an important initial step in understanding the scope of work and EOSE would like to thank the European Judo Union (EJU) for hosting the meeting and looks forward to a productive relationship in the future.
