Call for Papers


Extended Deadline for Submissions: 07th May (23.59 CET)

The Scientific and Programme Committee of the 2021 Festival of Sport Management Research and Practice of the European Association for Sport Management (EASM) invites scholars and practitioners to submit abstracts to be considered for presentation. Additionally, we invite short papers to be considered for the EASM Best Conference Paper Award 2021 and for the ESMQ New Researcher Award 2021 for young scientific scholars. Reviewers contributing to assessing and progressing colleagues’ work in an excellent manner as part of the peer-review process will be awarded with the EASM Best Conference Reviewer Award 2021

The EASM 2021 Festival of Sport Management Research and Practice will rely on several online Thematic Events organised with partner institutions.The themes and specific dates will be announced soon. In that respect, submissions that particularly relate to online Thematic Events are encouraged but contributors will have the opportunity to present submissions not specifically related to a Thematic Event in Parallel Sessions, and Poster Sessions during one of the online Thematic Events.

The main aim of all Thematic Events and sessions is to encourage participants from across fields to share knowledge, provide new insights and inspire the future of sport management. Sessions also offer a platform to create inter- and cross-disciplinary contacts and collaborations.

Please carefully consider the submission guidelines for a successful submission of your abstract.
