Join us at the European College of Sport Science (ECSS) Annual Congress this July. Held this year in Rimini, Italy, this annual gathering brings together experts in sport science, physical activity, and human performance to discuss their pioneering findings.  With a rich programme of keynotes, presentations, and workshops offering attendees the opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research and shape the future of sport science. 

Our events

Throughout the conference, our academics will be presenting their latest research around Public Health and Sports Science. More information about each presentation can be found below.
