From 19-24 July, ICSEMIS will be the largest sport science and medicine conference in the world attracting delegates from across the globe including researchers, students and practitioners who attend to share this unique opportunity for multi-and inter-disciplinary scientific exchange in the days leading up to the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

*Athlete Welfare

*Eligibility and Inclusion

*Elite Performance

*Governance and Policy

*International Sports Development and Management

Following the nominations of keynotes and parallel sessions from the IOC, IPC, FIMS and members of ICSSPE, a call for parallel sessions to national and international organisations is being opened from every branch of sport and exercise. This call prioritises national and international organizations ahead of the open call for parallel sessions in Mach, 2011.
