Conferences in Sport
At all times interesting conferences are held around the world. A challenge is to find out about them in time. We will post links to the forthcoming academic conferences related to sports that we are aware of here. The list is updated on a regular basis. Please inform us about any academic event by sending a message to our Internet Coordinator, Fábio Silva.
Attention
We have sought to update this list to the best of our ability, however, please note that, due to the recent coronavirus outbreak, many events including academic conferences have been cancelled/ postponed (or may be in the future).
