Sport Technology and Research

Sport is one of the most dynamic and promising sectors in terms of investment in research and innovation. Grounded on this evidence, the core purpose of the IEEE-STAR workshop is to foster research in technological innovation and excellence in sports equipment, technical materials, training technologies and performance monitoring, fan engagement and healthy lifestyles.

By doing this the IEEE-STAR workshop aims to enhance the practice of sport and increase physical activity levels across the population, and highlight the the role of sport as a vehicle for social and economic development.

The overall objectives of the workshop are:

• promote and strengthen relationships, partnerships, alliances and networks between academia and industry in the field of sport innovation;
• disseminate recent research and technology advancements, discoveries and novel applications to sport;
• exchange ideas and strengthen cooperation between researchers;
• increase the public's understanding and awareness of how the practice of sports can positively affect and individual’s quality of life;
• facilitate the development of new entrepreneurial initiatives in the sportech sector.

The Program Committee is inviting contributions to the IEEE STAR 2025.

Interested researchers, academics, practitioners and industry partners are invited to submit papers for the Workshop. Papers that involve joint authorship with students, industry and community partners are encouraged. Early career researchers and research students are also encouraged to contribute papers.

All contributions will be peer-reviewed and acceptance will be based on quality, originality and relevance. Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

Extended versions of presented papers are eligible for post publication.
