This agreement is the starting point for both institutions to jointly implement in the future a larger and more important range of teaching and research activitie<\/strong>s, so necessary in a sector in constant growth such as sport.<\/p>\n Moreover, there are also plans to jointly create an online course open to anyone (known as a MOOC<\/strong>: massive open online course) in sports sponsorship on Coursera<\/strong>, the leading MOOC platform worldwide where the UAB has been the first Spanish university to be selected to offer courses.<\/p>\n Moreover, the UAB and Johan Cruyff Institute will create, also in collaboration with the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, a research chair dedicated to finding ways to help athletes to integrate into society after finishing their sports career.<\/p>\n It is planned to study the relevant educational systems and subsequent labor market integration to achieve this goal.<\/p>\n In addition, in the agreement it is planned that the Fundaci\u00f3 Aut\u00f2noma Solidaria (FAS) of the UAB and Cruyff Foundation collaborate on initiatives to facilitate the integration of disabled people in sports activities.<\/p>\n This collaboration will be possible thanks to the fact that the activities of the Cruyff Foundation and the FAS have points in common in this area. Cruyff Foundation carries out sports projects for disabled children, among others. For its part, the FAS manages the PIUNE program, aimed at making the necessary adaptations to ensure equal opportunities for study: offering services such as being accompanied in an adapted vehicle, or pedagogical, curricular, technical, material, urban planning, architectural and social environment adaptations.<\/p>\n In the educational area, the <\/span>UAB<\/span><\/a><\/strong> and <\/span>Johan Cruyff Institute<\/span><\/a><\/strong> will jointly deliver the Master in Sport Management in Barcelona and online in Spanish and English.
