First edition of the Workshop for Young Researchers in Sports Sciences
The doctoral programs specialising in Physical Activity, Physical Education, and Sports Sciences from Catalan universities organise an academic event for young researchers in sports on February 21, 2025.
The Workshop for Young Researchers in Sports Sciences: Leading the Future of Research aims to create a space for exchanging studies, ideas, and concerns among researchers who are currently pursuing or have recently completed their doctoral studies in the field of sports sciences:
- Students enrolled in doctoral programs specialising in Sports Sciences from Catalan universities or other geographic areas.
- Early-career researchers from universities and/or other research institutions who are in the postdoctoral stage and conducting research in the field of Sports Sciences.
- Students from master’s programs considering starting doctoral studies specialising in Sports Sciences.
Young researchers can participate by presenting an oral communication or a poster about their research project or simply attend as audience members. The deadline for submitting proposals is open until December 20, 2024, via the proposal submission form.
Registration for the conference is free, and participants must register through the registration form. Places are limited.
With this initiative, the doctoral programs aim to foster interdisciplinary collaboration by promoting the exchange of ideas and approaches with other PhD students from various disciplines. Participants will also have the opportunity to expand their professional networks through networking with other early-career and senior researchers and develop presentation and communication skills to share ideas with experts and peers.
