Pim Verschuuren is an Associate Research Fellow, specializing in the governance, integrity and geopolitics of sport.

A lecturer at the University of Rennes 2 in sports management (STAPS), his research focuses in particular on the implementation of policies to protect sporting integrity, whether at local, national or international level. In particular, he has worked on the fight against the manipulation of sporting competitions, taking part in several European Erasmus+ projects since 2012. He also analyzes the role played by whistleblowers, and how sports organizations and public authorities can use this confidential information. This was the subject of his thesis carried out between 2017 and 2021.

His work also focuses more broadly on topics linked to the regulation of sport on an international scale and the geopolitics of sport.

Graduated of the Political Study Institute in Rennes (IEP) and of the University of Amsterdam (Master 2 Law and Politics of International Security), he completed a thesis in international sports management at the University of Lausanne.
