This “call for abstracts” is directed to researchers of all disciplines.

A special workshop will be offered about topics related to sport ethics and integrity.

Every research related to the “Future of the Olympic and Paralympic Games” and to the field related to Agenda 2020+5 is in particular welcome and will be selected firsthand.
