From research to education to policy: Building a global field of sport ethics and integrity

This article explores how the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree in Sport Ethics and Integrity (MAiSI) and the Doctoral Training Network in Sport Ethics and Integrity (DAiSI) are cultivating a global, interdisciplinary field of sport ethics and integrity. It examines how research informs educational innovation, professional development and policy, highlighting a three-dimensional framework encompassing personal, competition and institutional integrity. Through international academic collaboration, MAiSI has established a global alumni network spanning more than 70 countries, while DAiSI supports 17 doctoral researchers investigating sport integrity challenges across disciplines and contexts. The article demonstrates how the interaction between research, education and professional practice can strengthen the evidence base for policy, inform institutional governance and advance the development of sport ethics and integrity as a research field and profession.
