Project partners gathered in Vienna at the House of Sports to continue working together towards strengthening women's leadership in sport. The meeting was opened by Wolfgang Burghardt, Secretary General of CSIT, who welcomed all partners and highlighted the importance of European cooperation, leadership, and inclusion in sport.
