With the aim of fostering closer cooperation among academics in the field of sport politics, the Centre for Research in Sport, Health and Civil Society at the University of Southern Denmark welcomes practitioners and academics with an interest in the Polity, Politics and Policies of Sport to a POLIS workshop.
