Message from the CESH President, 21st Feb. 2012
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to inform you that in 2012 CESH will hold its General Assembly in Rouen (France) on 31st Oct (or 1st Nov). CESH members will so be able to take advantage of the international congress entitled “Hosting, Organising and Celebrating the Olympics” officially supported by CESH. The event is part of the series "Carrefours d’histoire du sport" and being held 29-31 October 2012. It is organised by Daphné Bolz and Florence Carpentier and welcomes presentations in English and French. For more information, please visit the website.
Please note that the deadline for submitting abstracts is 29 February.
We regret there will be no specific CESH conference this year.
The next CESH Congress will be held 21-24 November 2013 in Barcelona. Our colleague Xavier Pujadas y Marti has already started the organisation of this event which will take place at the ‘Universitat Ramon Llull’ (Address: Facultat de psicologia, Ciències de l'Educació i l'Esport’ c/Císter, 34, 08022 Barcelona). More information will soon be available on the CESH webpage and on a specific congress webpage.
In 2014, Edessa (Greece) will welcome the international CESH congress. It is being organised by Christodopoulos Faniopoulos.
As the year 2012 has already begun, I invite you to pay you membership fees. Full membership is now 35 euros, reduced is 15 euros. For how to pay, please visit this webpage.
Members who have paid their 2011 fees will very soon be sent a copy of the journal "European Studies in Sports History". Please mail your shipping address to Daphné Bolz to make sure get your free issue!
I am looking forward to seeing you soon again.
Best wishes,
Jean-François LOUDCHER
CESH President
About CESH
What is CESH ?
CESH had 3 forerunners: in 1991 a “Working Group Sport History” was inaugurated at the 1st Forum of the European Network of Sport Science Institutes of Higher Education in Lisbon, which was followed by a “Section Sport History” at the 2nd Forum in Cologne in the year 1993, and a “Committee for Sport History” in 1995 shortly before the 3rd Forum in Bordeaux. CESH was officially founded at the 3rd Forum under the name “European Committee for Sport History” one day before the European College of Sport Science (ECSS), similar to which it became independent.
CESH coordinates European projects on the history of physical education and sport to assure a better European and international cooperation. In particular, it helps in the exchange of ideas, students and staff between European universities, to assure a high standard of teaching in sport history, help young scholars in developing a European dimension of their work and prepare a European doctorate in sport history. CESH was an educational partner of the “European Year of Education Through Sport 2004” (http://www.eyes-2004.info/153.0.html). During the General Assemblies in Seville 2005 and in Vienna 2006 the official name of CESH was changed into European Committee for Sports History.
