Dear colleagues,

We are now updating the sample of sports covered in our data collection.
Attached is the Excel file containing information previously provided by
you.

Has there been a recent funding allocation since 2023?

If so, please tell us about the latest funding allocation and provide an
updated list of top ten sports receiving funding using the attached Excel

We would really appreciate your quick response as the data collection
cannot commence unless we receive the updated list.

Dear Mr Pürn and colleagues,

Alphametrics works for the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE)
to update and maintain the data on women and men in decision-making
published in EIGE’s Gender Statistics Database
<http://eige.europa.eu/gender-statistics/dgs> . Please find attached a
letter from the institute requesting your cooperation.

We are currently developing a methodology to collect and publish data on
women and men in decision-making in sports organisations. The collection
will cover organisations convened at both European and national levels (38
countries) and is restricted (for purposes of comparability) to
organisations representing sports recognised by the International Olympic
Committee. The data collected will be published in the EIGE database,
input to the calculation of the social power domain in EIGE’s Gender
Equality Index <http://eige.europa.eu/gender-equality-index> , and may
also be used in the context of the joint project
<https://pjp-eu.coe.int/fr/web/gender-equality-in-sport/about>  of the
Council of Europe and European Commission concerning gender balance in
sports organisations.

At national level, data are being collected for National Olympic
Committees and National Sport Federations (i.e. the organisations
governing each sport within a country). Our research indicates that there
are in excess of 1250 national federations across the countries covered
so, in order to ensure a cost-effective approach, the collection will not
be comprehensive but based on a representative sample. In order to ensure
transparency and comparability between countries, the sample will cover
the ten National Sports Federations receiving the highest amount of
public/government funding in each country.

As the Ministry responsible for sport, we are writing to you for
assistance in compiling the list of federations to be covered. You will
find attached a short excel questionnaire. Q1 to Q3 have been pre-filled
and you are only requested to provide the list of 10 sports federations
receiving the highest amount of public funding from the ministry/national
budget (Q4) in the most recent round of allocations and information about
the frequency of funding allocation (Q5).

Note that we are not requesting the amount of funding provided to each
Sport Federation. We only need the list (names) of top 10 highest funded
sports federations.

Please return the completed questionnaire by 7th September 2018.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further
clarification.

Many thanks in advance for your response.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards,

Gurbet Ogur – Researcher
