Networking event
The networking event is designed for young scientists (PhD students and postdocs) in the field of sports and health science. Its purpose is to provide a platform for exchange and collaboration, enabling young researchers to build new connections and advance their career development. While similar networks are already well established in other countries, our goal is to strengthen this culture in Switzerland and contribute to a sustainable sports science community.
The event will take place in Fribourg, on 10 February 2026, the day before the 4S conference begins. The networking event is free of charge (including dinner, excluding overnight accommodation).
