The ON SURF conference is a meeting place between knowing and doing. An open space ofย thought and action, whose main objective is to establish bridges.ย The conference, focused on the relationship between Philosophy and Sport, also aims toย open the field of reflection to different areas of knowledge, intending to provide the opportunity toย think freely and have the widest possible scope. Offering an open academic environment where theย Philosophy of Sport will certainly provide an open horizon for reflections and contributions fromย the entire spectrum of academic knowledge, promoting and sharing of research, thought andย practice, in 2023 we aim to create an unforgettable conference ON SURF and all the surroundingย culture, economy, and sports.
