Our purpose and vision are to lead the promotion and application of world-class, multi- and interdisciplinary science in sport, exercise, physical activity and health.
In 2020, we launched a new strategy (2020-2025) which established four core missions for the college and its role in sport science:

  • Disseminate high quality, innovative science
  • Empower the development of young scientists
  • Build and retain an engaged ECSS community
  • Develop strong partnerships within the private and public sectors

Read the full strategy plan here.

For detailed information about how the ECSS operates, we include our Charter and Bye-laws here for your perusal.

We wouldn’t achieve our goals without the help and commitment of our boards, teams, and office
