Conference "The social role of sports clubs and federations"
Annual conference of the Sport Sociology Section in the German Society of Sport Science
12 to 14 September in Berlin
The 2018 Annual Conference of the Sport Sociology Section in the German Society of Sport Science (Deutsche Vereinigung für Sportwissenschaft e. V., dvs) will summarize the current status of research into the societal roles of sports clubs and federations, specifically here in Germany, and will explain how sport sociology contributes to the understanding of these societal functions. The congress will take place at Humboldt University in Berlin from September 12 to 14, 2018. It will be chaired by Prof. Dr. Sebastian Braun. While the event primarily targets sport sociologists, it is also intended to offer a platform for exchanging specialist ideas and experience with sports federations and the worlds of politics and administration.
