In only eight months time\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

we hope to see you all here in Malm\u00f6! The Swedish autumn has been fantastic \u2013 and part of our crew (read the congress president Aage Radmann) is still swimming in the \u00d6resund sea. We feel sure that next year some of you will take the opportunity for open sea swimming, since it’s mere minutes away from the congress site. Who will be the first one \u2013 and the last…?<\/p>\n

Only eight months\u2026.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Right now there is a building site instead of a congress center where we will convene. Is it a worry? Not really! A week ago the Department of Sport Sciences at Malm\u00f6 University was invited for a visit to Malm\u00f6 Live \u2013 the conference center to be. The guided tour at the site demonstrated that these houses are worth waiting for. It is fascinating to follow the work on the tower that will contain the hotel rooms (including a sky bar), the congress building and the concert hall. We were also introduced to the food concept of which a Swedish giant among international chefs is responsible \u2013 Marcus Samuelsson, of Harlem fame. Malm\u00f6 Live will open on the 2nd of May 2015 and the congress site will host a couple of congresses before ours. In other words \u2013 they will be well prepared for the ECSS visit.<\/p>\n

Some minutes away\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The ECSS Congress delegates will have easy access to the conference as Malm\u00f6 central station is only a few minutes walk from Malm\u00f6 Live. To get to Malm\u00f6 by plane go to Copenhagen Airport, get a train across the sound, and you will arrive at the Malm\u00f6 central station in less than 20 minutes. In Malm\u00f6 you can walk, catch buses and why not experience the very flat city by bike?<\/p>\n

So\u2026 the Congress site soon to be finished (check out some images from the visit of sport scientists below, hard hats and all), plenty of good food, and easy access to all parts of Malm\u00f6 \u2013 what else can we ask for? Well, the most important ingredients in a good congress is of course you, the participants. We are looking forward to see you all in Malm\u00f6 on June 24\u201327 next year.<\/p>\n
