Wrap up of European College for Sport Science Conference in Rimini July 1-4, 2025

I was delighted to give a keynote at the first plenary session of the 30th European College for Sport Science conference held in Rimini July 1-4th, 2025. The plenary session was titled “PS-PL01 – DSD- and trans-athletes in the female category: scientific and ethical controversies” and I shared the floor with Professor Yannis Pitsiladis. The session was chaired by Professor Sigmund Loland, Norwegian School for Sport Sciences, and Professor Erica Gobbi, University of Padua, Italy. Direct message me if you are interested in receiving the slides of the presentation.

I was also thrilled that my PhD student Giulia Sesa, a member of the Doctoral Training Network in Sports Integrity and Ethics (DAiSI) was awarded the 2nd prize for the ECSS Young Investigator Award out of 353 submissions! Congratulations Giulia for an excellent presentation titled “Discrimination or Protection? Investigating the Ethics of Limiting Participation in Sports on Public Health and Individual Well-being Grounds”.
