Further Related Objectives Include:
• Exposure to the peer-review process with regard to submitted research proposals based on (i) preliminary data and/or (ii) research-in-progress.
• The enhancement and development of PG research skills through the research presentation process (i.e. via Poster or Oral Presentation format).
• Live constructive feedback on Poster/Oral Presentations, with further opportunity to engage with peers and discipline experts on-site.
• The opportunity to contribute to, and learn from, the ‘knowledge exchange’ potential of this in-person event across all Conference Sessions.
Key Thematic Areas:
• Exercise Science & Sports Performance
• Physical Education & Sport Pedagogy
• Physical Activity & Health
• Athletic Therapy & Sports Medicine
This year, we are extending the latter thematic area to include the Sports Medicine domain, which is rapidly developing in both the research and practitioner space across the island of Ireland.
