Sport Technology and Research
Join us in one of the proud hosting regions of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games!!
Sport is one of the most dynamic and promising sectors in terms of investment in research and innovation. The main purpose of the IEEE workshop on Sport Technology & Research is to offer a forum where researchers and practitioners from different sectors can share ideas, models, scientific results and experiences on how to use technology in analyzing sport performance, creating and testing new equipment and materials, developing new training methods, monitoring health, motivating to healthier lifestyles, encouraging fan engagement, and designing smart sport facilities. The IEEE-STAR workshop series aims at enhancing the practice of sport and at increasing physical activity levels across the population; the workshop also recognises the role of sport as a vehicle for social inclusion 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 an individual’s quality of life;
- facilitate the development of new entrepreneurial initiatives in the sportech sector.
CALL FOR PAPERS
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 and presented papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore Digital Library, subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements.
