The theme of the 2023 Annual Congress for the ISSA takes this call to “engage [our] various publics” as its point of departure and extends this call to question how we define and then work with, within and through our “various publics” in our research, scholarship, and teaching. In particular, we invite scholars to share their insights on and experiences of engaging in research, scholarship and teaching with, within and through their local communities.

The inaugural International Football History Conference was staged in 2017 and proved popular with leading academics, early career researchers, football historians and students. That was followed in 2018 & 2019 by further enjoyable conferences. Due to Covid we had to cancel our 2020 & 2021 conferences but now we're back. This year the conference promises to be significant, with world leading research presented, while also providing networking opportunities, as well as the potential for collaborations.

The network encourages transdisciplinary approaches between researchers from fields such as, but not limited to: sports sociology, journalism studies, and communication studies. In addition to research presentations, events will include workshop activities designed to facilitate dialogue between members of the academy and sports media practitioners. This work will identify best practice and lead to a final report with recommendations for sports media practitioners, researchers and stakeholders.

The symposium programme consists of dozens of presentations by top sports scientists from Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Participants will hear about the latest research in sports coaching and their practical applications. The main themes of this year's multidisciplinary symposium are athlete growth and development, strength training, nutrition, team sports, sports technology and skills training.

The aim of the conference is to bring together academics and researchers of all areas of sports. Participants can present on sports topics within broad streams of research areas. Also, special sessions will be organized for individual sports (soccer, football, baseball, basketball, handball, ice hockey, tennis, car racing, gymnastics etc). Consistent with the theme of ATINER’s small academic events, all programs may include a few sessions on current topics in education and research.
