Associations, Federations and Special Interest Groups

Aware of the importance of international cooperation for the advancement of science, INSTICC works closely together with several other national and international associations and is proud to welcome them as partners in its activities or to arrange initiatives in cooperation with them.

While several forms of partnership are welcome, INSTICC places special value in "Technical Co-Sponsorships", by means of which both associations support each other from a scientific perspective for their mutual benefit. Additionally, in this case, members of partner organizations benefit from the same registration conditions as INSTICC members.

Current Institutional Partners:

International Association of Computer Science in Sport

The International Association of Computer Science in Sport (IACSS), and the predessesor (the WorkingGroup COSISP), have been founded to improve the international cooperation in the field of Computer Science in Sport. Obviously, the internationalization of this discipline is of great importance for the exchange of views, the discussion and presentation of current research results as well as the realization of joint research projects.

Società Italiana delle Scienze Motorie e Sportive

SISMES (the Italian Society of the Exercise and Sport Sciences) was founded in 2007 with the aim to offer to all the Italian researchers working in the field of the Exercise and Sport Sciences a “home” where to discuss didactic and scientific topics related to such a field. Among the more than 300 participants a huge fraction is of young PhD students and postdoc fellows. Hence SISMES is actually a “young” society!
The main SISMES task is to facilitate the communication and sharing the knowledge organizing both an annual scientific congress and periodical meetings focused on specific topics to increase the horizontal cross fertilization.
SISMES is also proud to have in “Sport Sciences for Health” its official Scientific Journal, edited by Springer (http://www.springer.com/medicine/journal/11332).

IASK - International Association of Sport Kinetics

The aim of the Association will be creating appropriate conditions for further development of human movement science and sport kinetics as a scientific discipline which constitutes a fundamental element in sciences related to sport. IASK will be striving at interdisciplinary cooperation of scientists from numerous related disciplines of science and elementary sciences.The aim of the association is to promote and further develop various branches of scientific research focusing on how to get to know human movement behaviour and physical fitness better. The association concentrates on the problems of movement, physical and health development of children and the young, as well as of adults and the elderly. IASK is specifically interested in movement and physical fitness of sportsmen going in for various disciplines. This in particular, requires us to encourage regular discussions on general, theoretical conception, specific terminology and methods of diagnosing movement development, as well as to study and disseminate physical activity patterns for people at various age. Working towards these goals, the association aims at co-operation and information exchange, and provides conditions for scientific, interdisciplinary discussions among researchers of various branches of basic and applied science.
