ICSSPE Adapts its Online Strategy

ICSSPE to share news, events and announcements through its social media profiles.

For several years, ICSSPE has been publishing a monthly News magazine on its website (http://icsspe.org/media/news-magazine). This News magazine is also sent out to the people who subscribe online to the ICSSPE News (http://icsspe.org/media/news). The News magazine encompasses news articles (reports, interviews, analysis), announcements (job offers, scholarships, call for abstracts, etc…) and events (conferences, meetings, symposiums related to sport).

In parallel, ICSSPE uses the social media platforms to disseminate these pieces of information to its members and followers, along with other relevant topics from the world of sport science, physical activity and physical education. The focus is put on ICSSPE’s three strategic priorities:

• Healthy living across the lifespan
• Quality Physical Education (QPE)
• Ethics & Integrity

As of March 2014, the ICSSPE News Magazine will be increasingly supported by the social media channels thereby broadening the network’s outreach. In addition, the social media channels make it possible to disseminate information regarding deadlines for submission, registration or application on a more instant basis. This information will be available publically on the ICSSPE website through a “live feed” on the front page without having to register on the social media platforms. Description of events (important dates, themes, location, etc…) will still be available through the Events’ Calendar on the ICSSPE website.

This adaptation will thus allow ICSSPE to highlight even more important information provided by its members and/or partners while at the same time relaying useful reminders and news to all the followers, in a more flexible way. The News Magazine will continue to be released on a monthly basis.
