ICSEMIS 2016, Brazil - Call for Bids
Candidate Procedure and Questionnaire
Background and Bid Invitation
In 2012, three leading international organisations in sport, sports medicine and sport science: the
International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education (ICSSPE), the International Paralympic
Committee (IPC) and the International Federation of Sports Medicine (FIMS) reiterated their intention to hold
a joint scientific conference every four years in the host country of the Paralympic Summer Games.
Previous editions of the International Convention on Science, Education and Medicine in Sport (ICSEMIS),
with the International Olympic Committee as a partner organisation also, were held in in Guangzhou, China,
in 2008 and in Glasgow, United Kingdom, in 2012.
With the Olympic and Paralympic Games to be held in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, the three parties who jointly
form the 2016 ICSEMIS International Coordinating Committee (ICC) are now accepting applications for the
2016 ICSEMIS.
This important event is expected to gather again over 2,000 delegates. Their backgrounds include all
different fields of sport, sport and exercise science, physical activity, sports medicine and physical
education; making it the most comprehensive multi-disciplinary gathering of professionals of the year.
