14th Annual ECSS Congress 2009 – Oslo, Norway
Dear Colleague,
On behalf of the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, I am pleased to welcome you to
the 14th Annual Congress of the ECSS in Oslo, Norway, June 24 – 27, 2009.
Oslo in the capital of Norway is situated at the head of the Oslo fjord and
surrounded by forested ridges. Oslo is unique, a city surrounding a sea
inlet with mountains as a backdrop. At the end of June, summer in Norway
is at its most beautiful.
Scientific Programme: Sport Sciences – Nature, Nurture and Culture
Sport is a complex phenomenon, and sport research must build on diversity of
scientific approaches. The ECSS ‘09 Congress programme will feature
theoretical, applied and cross-disciplinary sport studies as well as
research findings based on the natural, behavioural, social and human
scientific disciplines.
Social Programme
The social programme will consist of an Opening Reception in the Oslo City Hall on
Wednesday evening, a closing banquet on Saturday night, and a range of
activity options in and around Oslo.
Congress Venue
The ECSS’09 Congress will take place at Oslo Congress Centre which is a
professional, flexible and comprehensive meeting venue with a colourful
history dating back a century. The Centre is located in the heart of Oslo
and within walking distance to Congress hotels, transport systems,
shopping and restaurants.
