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:

Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication

European Society of Biomechanics

The European Society of Biomechanics (ESB) was founded at a meeting of 20 scientists from 11 countries in Brussels on May 21, 1976. The participants decided to create a new society, the European Society of Biomechanics. Biomechanics was defined as;“The study of forces acting on and generated within a body and of the effects of these forces on the tissues, fluids or materials; used for diagnosis, treatment or research purposes”. The primary goal of the ESB was formulated as “To encourage, foster, promote and develop research, progress and information concerning the science of Biomechanics”.

Società Italiana di Anatomia e Istologia

The Italian Society of Anatomy was founded in 1929 by Nello Beccari, Luigi Castaldi and Emerico Luna under the auspices of Giulio Chiarugi. The first congress was held in Bologna (8-10 October 1929), chaired by Giulio Valenti. Since December 2004 the Society changed its name into “ITALIAN SOCIETY OF ANATOMY AND HISTOLOGY (SIAI)”. The institutional aims of the Italian Society of Anatomy and Histology are the increase and the promotion of research and teaching in morphological (anatomical and histological) disciplines. Currently it has about 400 members and has reached the 74th

National Congress (Bologna, 20-22 September 2020). The official organ of the Society is the Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology in which the proceedings of the annual meeting as an ordinary supplement are published.

International Sports Engineering Association

The International Sports Engineering Association is well into its second decade of existence. During the early years, the field of sports engineering worked hard to define itself as a recognized academic discipline as well as professional field in the sports industry. Today, the field is largely recognized as a distinct discipline of engineering as evidenced by annual international conferences, numerous regional and technical specific conferences, and four distinct journals. The International Sports Engineering Association serves the rapidly growing community of sports engineering academics and practitioners by promoting the field of sports engineering through information sharing between members, the publication of the journal Sports Engineering, the production of the biannual conference, The Engineering of Sport, and support of the biannual conference the Asia-Pacific Conference on Sports Technology. We invite you to contribute your work to our journal and conferences. The ISEA maintains two databases as a service to its membership. The first is our member database, and the second is a searchable research database of sports engineering publications. Both of these databases are very useful for research and product innovation initiatives.
