Building on the great success of the previous editions of the ECD Talks, this year's edition dives into a brand-new and dynamic theme: how econometrics and data are reshaping the world of sports. From tactical decisions and player scouting to physical performance and match strategy, the games we love are increasingly driven by mathematical models and data-driven insights. These tools open up exciting possibilities for clubs, athletes, and analysts alike, while also raising sharp questions about how far the numbers can really take us.
Four experts from the sports industry and academia will share their insights on both the opportunities and the challenges of data-driven sports, bridging the gap between complex econometrics and the realities of on-field performance.
Throughout the panel discussion, you will have opportunities to actively engage in the conversation - whether through live polls, by grabbing the throwable microphone to share a sharp observation, or by asking your own questions. All remaining questions can be asked during the Q&A at the end of the discussion.
The ECD Talks will conclude with a networking reception, open to all attendees. There will be a LinkedIn photographer to take a formal LinkedIn picture and there will be free drinks to celebrate the start of the 14th edition of the ECD. The language of the ECD Talks will be English and the event is open to students of all studies and study phases.
