We at Manchester Metropolitan University are absolutely thrilled to be the academic hosts for ECSS 2027 – the 32nd iteration of this annual showpiece event. Along with our colleagues from ECSS we look forward to welcoming you, our delegates from across the world, to Manchester in July 2027.
Central to this legacy is Manchester Metropolitan University, a driving force in academic innovation and the development of sport and exercise science as a globally recognised discipline. For the past 50 years, Manchester Met has played a pivotal role in shaping how we understand human performance, physical activity and health. Its world-leading research in sport, biomechanics, physiology and rehabilitation has directly influenced policy, elite performance and community health initiatives across the UK and beyond. Indeed, the University’s Institute of Sport, since its establishment in 2022, has become a beacon for interdisciplinary research, innovation and industry collaboration – making Manchester a city where sport and exercise science truly comes alive and drives impact.
