The aim of this congress is to improve our understanding of the interactions between individuals and groups that shape more or less interdependent worlds, the dynamics of which set the pace for the globalization of sport and Olympism. Thus, the analytical approach favoured by this congress will pay particular attention to the multiple ways, situations and (re)configurations of making (worlds) of sport and Olympism - be they cultural, political, social or geographical.

Competition and collaboration are two essential dimensions for the culture of sport and physical education. Instances can be identified since the Antiquity. Given the essential dimension of competition and collaboration and the learning, teaching and training processes, there is a need for in-depth historical analysis of these two dimensions and of their effects on society. 

On the occasion of its international congresses the European Committee for the History of Sport (CESH) announces an award competition for junior researchers. The aim of the award is to facilitate the integration of outstanding graduate students and junior researchers into the European community of sports and physical education history scholars.

The European Committee for Sports History (CESH) was officially founded in 1995. It promotes the exchange of ideas, students and staff between European universities, encourages a high standard of teaching in sports history and helps young scholars in developing a European dimension in their research.
