Aims and topic
The Summer School 2020 is dedicated to young researchers in history and sociology whose work on subjects linked to physical activity and sport. These subjects cover a broad area, which allows experts and students to share experiences.
The Summer School provides a space to share information on research, theories and methods as well as to exchange ideas and knowledge about current tendencies and “hot issues” in the multiple arenas of physical activities and sports.
The Summer School will provide a forum, which enables communication, networks and cooperation among the participants, students as well as invited scholars.
The course is addressed to PhD students and young researchers and intends to support them in their scientific work. It offers students the opportunity of acquiring new knowledge, of presenting their research, of discussing problems, of obtaining advices from experts and of building up professional networks. It is intended to help young researchers to become integrated into the scientific community.
Organisation
In keynote lectures, experts will address important questions, new approaches, problems and strategies of research, current trends and major issues in the area of sport ideologies, policies and practices. They will also be available for discussions and individual supervision.
All students will have the opportunity to present their own projects and get feedback from experts and other students. Papers with the main outlines of these projects must be submitted in advance and will be accessible for participants.
