We are delighted to introduce the ISEA International Lecture Series on Sports Engineering. The lecture series aims to disseminate research activities carried out within the field of sports engineering. The topics covered will include, but not be limited to, biomechanics, development and/or testing of sports equipment, sport performance monitoring, safety and injury prevention.
Once per month, well-known speakers from all over the world will be invited to the lecture series to present their advances in sports engineering related projects. Given the international nature of this event, talk times will be determined based on the time zone of the invited speaker.
Our first lecture will be held on 26th June 2023 where Professor Steph Forrester (Sports Technology Institute, Loughborough University, UK) will give a talk on Player-Surface Traction on Synthetic Turf Pitches. In addition, she will take the opportunity to invite attendees to the upcoming ISEA2024 – 15th International Conference on the Engineering of Sport taking place at Loughborough University from 8-11th July 2024.
If you want to nominate yourself as a future speaker or just want to know more please feel free to get in touch with us!
The Lecture Series is organised by the ISEA Outreach Committee:
Understanding the mechanical and player performance of non-filled synthetic turf surfaces for football
An exciting fully funded PhD is open for applications . The closing date is 26th June 2023.
The 11th International Conference on Sport Sciences Research and Technology Support conference will be held in Rome, Italy on 16-17 November 2023. The call for papers is now open.
Abstracts are being invited for a special session on Design for Sports Engineering at the International Conference ADM 2023 at the University of Florence, Italy between 6-8th September 2023.
The deadline for submission for the special session is 15th February 2023 and can be submitted via email to Giuseppe Sanseverino giuseppe.sanseverino@mb.tu-chemnitz.de and Teodorico Caporaso teodorico.caporaso@unina.it.

We are currently looking for students who would like to send us a video for our twitter “Student Month”. This month, we want to advertise students in the ISEA and the great work that they are doing. If you are interested in getting your personal shout-out on the sports engineering twitter page, please email patrick.mayerhofer@locomotionlab.com, our student representative.
About the video: You can choose any format you’d like for this video. You can be creative and fun! You can talk about the work in your lab being done, about your latest project, or about the project you did with an ISEA grant you might have gotten in the past. Ideal would be if you could show some footage of the equipment being used, the lab itself, or any other cool sports engineering things you have used for your projects. If you’d like, you could also add one reason why you are part of the ISEA community.
We are looking forward to seeing and sharing your great work.
Patrick Mayerhofer
