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.
