For the first time in the association´s history, we are introducing posters sessions to further support our commitment to the development of PhD students and early career researchers. Sport&EU mission statement clearly recognise our objective to provide a friendly venue for new academics to present their work, so they can obtain valuable feedback and contribute to the continuous development of our area of academic enquiry. 

Thus, we are inviting proposals for poster presentations during our conference. Proposals should be submitted by email to [email protected] by Tuesday April 5th

    • Your methodology 
    • A discussion of your (preliminary) results and its empirical/theoretical relevance
  2. A brief CV explaining your own background and the context of the research you are proposing (is it part of a PhD, part of a wider project, it is the result of your MSc thesis…) 
  3. Whether your poster will be in English or Spanish (see below)
