Subject: Harmonious Co-operation Leads to Success at 2008 ICSEMIS
Bonn, Germany - From 1 to 4 August, the 2008 International Convention on
Science, Education and Medicine in Sport (ICSEMIS) took place in Guangzhou,
China.
More than 1,500 attendees, representing 40 different countries, enjoyed 350
oral presentations, 1,000 poster presentations and a series of workshops in
the wide area of sports science, sports education and sports medicine. For
the first time ever, four major international sports organizations, the
International Olympic Committee (IOC), the International Council for Sport
Science and Physical Education (ICSSPE), the International Federation of
Sports Medicine (FIMS), and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC)
joined forces to discuss the advancement of science and practice of human
movement.
Said IPC President Sir Philip Craven, who attended the Opening of the
convention: "A get-together of so many scientists with the same interest,
but targeting different populations (eg, Olympic athletes versus Paralympic
athletes) is of extreme interest to all partners. By learning from one
another and incorporating scientific findings in the all day practice of
athletes, trainers and coaches, we can progress sports participation from
the grass root level of sport development up to the elite performance and
role modeling of Paralympic and Olympic athletes."
"The Conventions' emphasis on integrated scientific symposia and thematic
sessions lead to a scale enhancement and multi-disciplinary approach to
sport through science, education and medicine that is more than the sum of
what the four international partners can realize on their own. It furthers
invites to a critical revisit of your own research approach on the basis of
the work done by colleagues in different conditions, with different
populations, and even in different disciplines. In particular, I want to
extend my appreciation to all delegates that contributed with Paralympic
sport related themes in the programme", Dr. Peter Van de Vliet, IPC Medical
and Scientific Director, added.
During the Closing Banquet of the 2008 ICSEMIS, Emma Beckman, PhD student to
Dr. Sean Tweedy, who is a member of the IPC Classification Committee, was
awarded the "" in the category of best oral presentation. Ms. Beckman
presented preliminary findings on the IPC Athletics Classification Research
project.
Along the 2008 ICSEMIS, ICSSPE celebrated its 50th anniversary and elected
Prof. Dr. Margaret Talbot, Chief Executive of the Association for Physical
Education, UK, as President to succeed Prof. Dr. Gudrun Toll-Tepper from
January 2009 onwards.
The four international partners (ICSSPE, FIMS, IOC, IPC) expressed their
commitment to continue the successful co-operation and met with the bid
applicants for 2012 ICSEMIS which will take place in Great Britain.
