6th Annual All-Ireland Postgraduate Conference in Sport Sciences, Physical Activity and Physical Education

The School of Health and Human Performance at Dublin City University are proud to announce that the 6th Annual All-Ireland Postgraduate Conference in Sport Sciences, Physical Activity and Physical Education will be held on Friday September 9th 2022 on our Glasnevin campus.

This year’s conference again aims to give postgraduate research students the opportunity to present their work to peers and interested academics in a supportive and collaborative environment. There will also be awards on the day for best poster and best oral presentation from the submitted abstracts. Like recent years, the broad themes of Sport Sciences, Physical Activity and Physical Education will be to the fore, but in recognition of the growing expertise in the areas of Athletic Therapy and Training in Ireland, we also welcome contributions under this theme.

We look forward to welcoming delegates undertaking research for a Masters/PhD/DProf relating to the following thematic areas:

• Exercise Science & Sports Performance
• Physical Education & Sport Pedagogy
• Physical Activity & Health
• Athletic Therapy & Training

This conference provides an excellent opportunity for postgraduate students to:

• Enhance and develop their research skills by presenting research in a conference environment
• Present research proposals, preliminary data or research-in-progress
• Network and engage in academic discourse in a supportive, interdisciplinary environment
• Receive constructive feedback on their poster/oral presentation

There will also be awards on the day for best poster and best oral presentation from the submitted abstracts.
