Active Territories : Sport and Leisure - May 19-20, 2026

Publié le : 10/02/2026

In recent years, sport and leisure activities have emerged as a key driver for revitalising and promoting regions.

Call for Papers

In addition, the field of sports management is increasingly proving to be a source of inspiration for the business world, offering coaching strategies, motivation and collective management tactics that are relevant to companies. The integration of new technologies and the increased participation of women in sport are also significant trends, inviting us to study their influence in the managerial sphere as well as their financial and marketing impact on the industry.

Finally, internationalisation and the emergence of new players on the world sports scene, such as the BRICS countries, are crucial to understanding their impact on sports competition and tourism, both locally and globally.

We cordially invite academics, researchers, and industry professionals to submit full papers.
