Silvia Camporesi, new member of the Panathlon Club of Brussels EU, has received from President Giovanni Malagò the Diploma of Honour of CONI. This recognition rewards her competence and professionalism in very topical issues, closely linked to the ethical values of the Panathletic Movement.
The diploma was conferred with the second prize for the technical section of the short story section for her essay ‘’Partire (S)vantaggiati: Corpi Bionici e Atleti Geneticamente Modificati’.
The book, published in Fandango's Icaro series, addresses some of the hottest issues in sports ethics, including genetic doping, the participation of non-binary bodies in the female category, and the question of assistive technology between disability and super-ability.
Silvia Camporesi is a sports bioethicist with an interdisciplinary background in biotechnology and philosophy of medicine. She is Professor of Sports Ethics and Integrity at the KU Leuven University in Belgium, where she is co-director of iCERIS, an interdisciplinary centre for ethics, regulation and integrity in sport, and Master's in Sports Integrity and Ethics.
Since 2021, she has been a member of the World Anti-Doping Association's (WADA) Expert Group of Ethics Advisors. Participates in an innovative project (MAISI / DAISI) in collaboration with Belgian universities, aimed at creating a network of young students committed to ethics in sport, already approved by PI.
