The conference will be in English and under the aegis of the Philosophy of Sport Section of the Czech Kinanthropological Society, Czech Republic. We cordially invite you to participate in this event.

Since fanatical extremism is one of the dark sides of religion (as well as of sport), what we propose as a meeting place is an open debate and reflection, but one that is demanding in terms of thinking about the depth and complexity that will unite us over these two days in Porto. The sport and religion conference, focussed on the relationship between philosophy and sport, seeks to be a horizon for reflections and contributions from across the spectrum of academic knowledge, promoting the sharing of research, thought and practice.

The CSSOR Program Committee welcomes high quality academic work on sport studies topics such as race, gender, politics, legacy, youth, or disability.

The conference and the follow-up anthology seek to bring together original scholarship to elaborate on how sport and physical culture impacted the ways German and American people came into contact with each other, how they perceived each other, how their respective sporting traditions and cultures interacted with each other, and how sport and physical culture changed because of these contacts and encounters.

Sport plays an important role in our society and all over the world and is a major part of human interests and activities. Sport excites. When we search for inspiration, it is often found in the words and achievements of coaches and athletes. For the first time in Slovenia, in partnership with Olympic Committee of Slovenia and Slovenian Tourist Board, we organize an event on the topic of sports, which connects the most diverse areas of sports and the challenges faced by athletes, coaches and others.

The International Association for Communication and Sport (IACS) invites you to submit your work for a presentation or panel discussion for the 2024 Summit on Communication and Sport. The IACS Summit is the only stand-alone conference for communication researchers interested in exploring sport from diverse critical, methodological, theoretical, and multi-disciplinary perspectives. The Summit welcomes submissions from all methodological and theoretical perspectives.

This conference seeks to bring together a wide range of scholars, both early career and more experienced, from a range of disciplines, whose research focuses on the visual and material culture of sport. By aligning research with specific international and global festivals, ranging from Olympic and Paralympic Games and World tournaments, to inter-continental competitions such as Asian and African Games, or events such as the Commonwealth Games, we hope to demonstrate the breadth of cultural practice and the vital role played by artists and creators in shaping the appearance and environment of such events.
