The Keep Crime Out Of Sport-“against manipulations of sports competitions” technical assistance project begins with a first meeting with its financial contributors and associate partners in Strasbourg on 9 March. The project builds on the previous EU-COE Joint project KCOOS, with two exceptions: it is now funded exclusively by countries and international organisations and will have a universal vocation, with regional seminars and technical assistance activities on all continents. The project will run until December 2020. Its main objectives are to promote ratification worldwide of the Macolin Convention, and to provide technical assistance to countries in the implementation of the Convention principles.
