The ECSS Annual Congress is one of the leading sport science congresses in the world and includes a number of invited symposia as well as multi-, inter- and mono-disciplinary sessions including open discussions and interactive workshops. On a rotational basis, the congress is held in a different European location each year and welcomes around 3000 international sport scientists with academic and applied professions from all over the world. Please note that the congress is unlikely to return to the country where it has just taken place in the next five years. 

We are looking for high-quality venues in exciting cities with engaged hosts who want to promote and develop the international sport scientific network.

The Bidding for 2026 to 2028 is completed, next Call for Bidding is to be expected for late 2025.
