Conferences

At the inception of the Carnegie College of Physical Education in 1933 women were not allowed to study at the college. Over the years much has changed and now the Carnegie School of Sport (CSS) has a long history of delivering high quality and impactful research and knowledge exchange focusing on women in sport and exercise science. 
The CSS continues to evolve, delivering courses across a variety of disciplines including Physical Education, sport coaching, sport performance, sport business, sport marketing, and sport and exercise science. We look forward to continuing the School’s rich history of shining a light on women in sport and exercise science in partnership with the Women in Sport and Exercise Academic Network (WiSEAN). 

The 2025 conference theme ‘WiSER Together: Valuing diversity and collaborating for change' acknowledges that by collectively coming together to share knowledge across disciplines, a range of contemporary challenges and societal concerns regarding women in sport and exercise can be grappled with and possible solutions identified.

The goals of WiSER Together 2025 are:
·       To provide a multi-disciplinary space for colleagues to network and collaborate for change.
·       To welcome a diversity of colleagues to share and celebrate research in relation to women and girls in sport and exercise.
·       To provide a variety of knowledge exchange formats to promote learning and provoke critical debate.  
·       To improve conditions for different women and girls in sport and exercise, from grassroots sports to elite level performance.

Early bird rate until the 15th April 2025.
After this date, the amount will increase.

Businet is a non-profit transnational education networking organisation, which has hosted an employability themed student conference annually for over 20 years. This event is designed to allow attendees to learn, network, interact and work within international teams with students from other countries and cultural backgrounds. Together you will hear from international experts on subjects including employability, self-development and experiential learning. At the conference you will develop a wide range of key employability skills by working collectively on small engaging projects. The conference is designed to challenge and ultimately enhance your self-confidence, emotional intelligence, intercultural competency, teamworking, leadership, self-reflection and other key employability skills and attributes. All of this takes place in the beautiful Belgian city of Antwerp, which is famed for its fashion, jewellery, art and maritime industries.

Carnegie School of Sport at Leeds Beckett University welcome you to the first Ultra Endurance Symposium. A two-day event set in our amazing state-of-the-art home, exploring and sharing the science of ultra endurance running and experiencing the passion of Ultra

This event is for all endurance runners: from seasoned athletes looking to update and refine their knowledge, to aspiring competitors eager to take their first steps toward longer distances. It’s also an excellent professional development and networking opportunity for coaches. The symposium offers something for everyone, providing opportunities to share experiences and learn from fellow athletes, as well as gain insights from health and performance experts. While the focus is on running, the topics covered are highly relevant to other ultra-endurance sports and activities, including fast-packing, thru-hiking, cycling, and mountaineering
