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 promoting physical movement to a POLIS workshop. This event will provide a platform to present ongoing research, explore new ideas for collaborative projects, and identify future research agendas.

This PhD position focuses on sustainable urban planning, with emphasis on physical activity and sport in urban areas. Studies of cities and communities that prioritize active lifestyles show that they tend to be more sustainable by enabling residents to be more physically active in their daily routines. We therefore encourage applications focusing on areas such as organised and un-organised sport and physical activity, active mobility, public sector engagement for sport facilitation, sport and social inclusion, and sport for development.

The aim of this special issue is to advance interdisciplinary understanding of the relationship between sports and urban development. To attain this aim, scholars and practitioners with keen interest and specialized expertise in one or more related topic areas are invited and welcome to submit manuscripts. Diverse, holistic, and interdisciplinary perspectives of critical analyses are encouraged.
