As the three-year-long, European co-funded project ACCESS comes to an end, ACR+, together with its project partners—the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies, the Welsh and Danish Football Associations, the GAA, and FC Porto—is hosting the project's Final Conference.

The conference will take place on 14 May 2025 at the Roi Baudouin/Koning Boudewijn Stadium in Brussels, from 10 AM to 3 PM.

The intention and the objective of the event is to showcase the results and achievements in the four participating countries and cities, the tools that were produced to unlock the potentials for more environmentally friendly sports, and finally, to encourage uptake, replication and further reinforcement of sustainable resource management and circular economy in cities and sports. In order to address these objectives and provide all speakers and panellists, as well as the audience to express themselves, the programme of the day would feature a dynamic, participative and co-created agenda, with speakers and panellists with diverse backgrounds and skills. 

1000 - 1045 Keynote speeches from ACR+, UEFA, European Commission and the City of Brussels
1045 - 1145 Project outputs featuring ACR+, Sant'Anna School and GAA with the tools and guidance they produced during the project's lifetime
Lunch
1300 - 1500 Panel discussions with panellists from sport organisations and local and regional authorities, one on the role of local and regional authorities to secure environmentally friendly sports and another one on the capacities and efforts of sport clubs to contribute to more circular cities
Optional: Guided tour of the stadium
