EUROPEAN COLLEGE OF SPORT SCIENCE
- Share to:
On behalf of the European College of Sport Science (ECSS) and the Free Universities of Brussels, we welcome you to Bruges for the 17th annual congress of the ECSS.
The two universities hosting ECSS 2012, Université Libre de Bruxelles and Vrije Universiteit Brussel, have for many years contributed to the development of sport science in Europe. This sustained commitment to sport-related research from Brussels, the site of the European Institutions, led us to choose “Sport Science in the Heart of Europe” as the theme of the 17th congress of the ECSS.
The Bruges congress comprises an outstanding scientific programme that emphasizes contemporary knowledge in sport science. The congress will feature 4 plenary sessions and 36 invited symposia on topical issues in the field, the vitaly of which is underscored by the submission of close to 2000 abstracts from approximately 60 countries. After a thorough review and the withdrawal of some abstracts, ~85% of the submitted abstracts have been selected for the final programme. These free communications are distributed among 74 thematic oral and 115 e-poster sessions. A new feature this year is that all posters (1132 abstracts) will be presented in electronic format, which we anticipate will increase interactions among meeting participants.
Bruges was chosen as the host city for the congress due to its beauty and its historical role in the development of Europe. In these an- cient times, Bruges was one of the European cities in which intellectual, artistic, and trading activities converged and then expanded into Europe and well beyond. This history captures the objective of the College to establish a strong foundation for sport science in Europe and into the world.
