Heads of the finance module at the University of the West Indies, in Trinidad and Tobago

The heads of the finance module, offered to students in the framework of the FIFA/CIES Programme in sport management, held a seminar on 18 and 19 March 2013 in Port of Spain (Trinidad and Tobago) under the auspices of the University of the West Indies (UWI).

Prof. Clement Sankat, President of the UWI (Saint Augustine campus), welcomed the opportunity to co-organise the first seminar bringing together the officials responsible for one of the modules of FIFA/CIES Programme: "The University of the West Indies is very happy to welcome the 'financial backers' of the FIFA/CIES International University Network and give them the opportunity to discuss course content and to exchange their experiences. This seminar is particularly significant in a today's world, where financial ethics often leaves much to be desired".
