Dear [Name],

Preparations for the 31st ECSS Annual Congress are picking up momentum!

Rightly themed Coming Back to the Olympic Capital, the Congress will take place in Lausanne, Switzerland, from 7 to 10 July 2026, marking a return to this iconic sports city after 20 years.

Jointly hosted by the University of Lausanne (UNIL) and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), the Congress promises to be a world-class gathering of the sport science community.

To help us shape an outstanding Scientific Programme, we invite you to submit your proposal for a Plenary Session or Invited Symposium by 14 November 2025, 24:00 CET.

Remember that submissions can only be made by ECSS members and through your ECSS account. Full instructions and criteria for proposals can be found here.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to office@sport-science.org.

We look forward to welcoming you to an inspiring and highly engaging event that brings together the global sport science community once again!

Yours in Sport Science,

The ECSS
