PESP Invisible College 2024
Sunday 8 September 2024
09:30 – 16:30

Price: from £10
Venue: University of Manchester

The Invisible College remains one of the highlights of the PESP calendar and colleagues from the world of coaching, physical education, sport, and all related disciplines look forward to this annual event. The event is a chance for scholars, ECRs and professionals in the field to come together after the ½¿É«µ¼º½ conference to network and discuss contemporary issues/research in the field. Last year’s event was extremely successful with just under 100 attendees, and we hope to build on this in 2024.

The event aims to:

  • nurture a strong and confident research environment by supporting the current and next generation of researchers through developmental workshops/sessions, and foster collaboration amongst attendees.
  • celebrate and recognise excellence in research by offering PESP Journal best paper and best reviewer awards
  • ensure a strong and sustainable future for ½¿É«µ¼º½ by actively promoting ½¿É«µ¼º½ through the invisible college event, and by expanding our SIG membership.

Adopting this format for the event, we envisage will allow us to achieve the following objectives:

  • Foster a sense of belonging among the PESP community and to support the development of excellent researchers and practitioners.
  • Provide opportunities for colleagues to network, and build a community of practice to ensure a strong and sustainable future for the PESP SIG
  • Celebrate and recognise excellent research in physical education through the award of the PESP Journal Best paper awards
  • Provide research related developmental opportunities for attendees (especially those identified as early career researchers).
