ICSSPE Members Will Gather in Finland

ICSSPE's 26th General Assembly will be held on 12 June 2014 at the Finlandia Hall in Helsinki, Finland. You will find below a welcoming word from Dr. Kari Keskinen, Executive Director of the Finnish Society of Sport Sciences and Chair of the ICSSPE Editorial Board.

Welcome to Finland

"We at the Finnish Society of Sport Sciences are extremely proud that ICSSPE has authorised us to host its statutory meetings in Helsinki this June. The ICSSPE Executive Board together with its sub-committees will have their meetings on 9-11 June at the Finnish Sports Museum which is located at the historic 1952 Olympic Stadium. The ICSSPE General Assembly will be on June 12th at the most prestigious Finlandia Hall which is also the venue for the IWG 2014 Conference just following the ICSSPE meetings. All events will be ideally located within walking distance from the Scandic Park Hotel which will accommodate our international guests.

 Sport Science is a challenge, not only for sport scientists, but also to a great number of administrators and decision makers in International Associations around the world. Organising these meetings aims primarily at serving our colleagues and friends. We do this gladly and it is in this spirit that we extend our warmest welcome to you. It is our pleasant duty and responsibility to try to make your stay with us enjoyable and profitable both professionally and socially. Your help and co-operation are needed in realising both of these aspects. We are convinced that you all come here with your best professional spirit and knowledge so we can learn of the great progress in Sport Science. Be also prepared to come here fresh and well-charged: long days and short nights demand special professional and social energy. "
