ITESCE means Improving Transparency in European Sport Coach Education. The project is based on three parts:

1. The Copenhagen Process, where it was stated that Europe should be the most competitive and dynamic knowledge and competency based economy in the world that has the ability to maintain economic growth by improving jobs and create a stronger social solidarity.
2. The White Paper on Sports from the European Commission, that states: Sport is a growing social and economic phenomenon which makes an important contribution to the European Union's strategic objectives of solidarity and prosperity.
3. The Erasmus success story (2009), “Aligning a European Higher Education structure in Sport Science” (AEHESIS), gave us inspiration and the tools to start the work.
