The Convention will take place from 19 –24 July, 2012 in Glasgow, just prior to the Opening Ceremony of the London Summer Olympic Games on 27 July. The Convention will deliver a high quality scientific programme from every professional sector and every academic discipline associated with sport, physical education, exercise and physical activity. It aims to inspire a learning legacy that will increase awareness, knowledge and understanding of all sport and exercise sciences through the exchange of scientific, clinical and pedagogic information. The programme will also explore multidisciplinary perspectives and provide networking opportunities. ICSEMIS 2012 offers opportunities for young scholars and professionals to fully participate and organisers plan to support a number of scholars from around the world, in particular from developing countries. It will be a truly global sport science convention, the largest of its type ever to take place in the United Kingdom.
