The International Olympic Committee (IOC), International Paralympic Committee (IPC), International Federation of Sports Medicine (FIMS) and the International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education (ICSSPE) are proud to announce that their International Convention on Science, Education and Medicine in Sport will take place in Glasgow just before the Opening Ceremonies for the 2012 Olympic Games. ICSEMIS replaces and expands the scope of the former four-yearly Congresses that were so familiar to many scientists and academics in sport.

The Convention will be an opportunity for leading researchers to understand eachother’s needs, gain knowledge from other disciplines and address issues in sport and society that can only be tackled through joint efforts. Researchers, students and practitioners from every branch of sport and exercise are invited to attend and to share this unique opportunity for multi-and interdisciplinary scientific exchange. The main theme of the Convention is: Inspiring a Learning Legacy. For more information please visit the website.
