Solent University is delighted to be hosting the 2021 Leisure Studies Association Virtual Conference focusing on leisure identities, health and wellbeing.We welcome scholars from a range of disciplines, as well as practitioners, to Solent University to discuss: 'What role does leisure play in addressing 'healthy' identities, for who, and for what purpose?’ The conference will take place online - further details to follow.

This conference aims to bring together scholars from around the world to present, discuss and exchange their ideas in all relevant aspects of sport. It will provide an effective interdisciplinary platform for academics, practitioners and independent scholars to share the most up-to-date research and innovations, as well as theoretical and practical challenges emerging in the exciting field of sports studies.

Abstracts are welcome on any area of philosophy of sport (broadly construed), including metaphysics, epistemology, aesthetics, and ethics, and from any theoretical approach, including analytic philosophy and critical theory. While IAPS recognizes, values, and encourages interdisciplinary approaches and methodologies, acceptance is contingent on the philosophical content of the project. Emerging scholars are encouraged to submit works in progress.

The World Congress of Performance Analysis of Sport, first held in Burton Manor, England in 1991, has a long history as an international, academic event. In 2021 the WCPAS will be celebrating its 30 year anniversary as a distinguished platform for both established academics and people of industry in the field of performance analysis. Over the course of four days, keynote speakers in both the field of performance analysis and computer science in sport will present their work at this Joint Congress.

The 8th ISPAH Congress will bring together thought-leaders, policy makers, community leaders, Indigenous elders, and researchers from over 30 countries for conversation, debate, and innovation based on the theme of “The Wholistic Approach to Health and Wellness through Physical Activity: Body, Spirit, and Mind.” A key objective of the conference will be to advance our knowledge of the benefits of physical activity for optimal health and well-being across the lifespan.

After a more than challenging past year, the ASAC conference organizers pose the question “How can research in business and management help people and organizations in Canada and around the world to prepare themselves for a future that promises to be significantly different—and continue to experience significant differences—than previously imaginable?” The Tourism & Sport Management (TSM) stream encourages various submission opportunities.

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. Areas of interest include (but are not confined to): the Impacts of Olympic Games, Professional Sports, Sports Law, Sports Communication, Sports & Media, Sports & Society, Sport Psychology, Sports & Ethics, Sport Technology, Sports History.

The goal of the Congress is to bring together leading professionals and researchers in the field of exercise and sport sciences, in order to stimulate discussion on the latest innovations in these areas.

This conference will have an international focus and aims to bring together practitioners and academics from a range of disciplines to allow discussions and debates of issues surrounding women’s participation in sport, exercise and physical activity.
