European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport Tibor Navracsics is the latest confirmed speaker for this year’s MOVE Congress. Commissioner Navracsics will speak at the opening of the Congress on Wednesday 16 October in the Pátria Hall of the Budapest Congress Centre.

Congress participants can expect to hear how the Commissioner sees the way ahead for the grassroots sport and physical activity sector in Europe after the next College of Commissioners is appointed towards the end of the year.

As a part of this transition, the Hungarian will finish his 2014-2019 term as the Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport at the end of October, so the MOVE Congress will give exclusive insights into the EU’s plans to support organisations working in these sectors beyond 2020.

And of course, we will ask him what he believes the next game-changer for our sector will be!

More confirmed speakers will be announced soon, so watch this space!

By Jonathan N Hooshmand, Researcher in Public Health, University of Miami KiDZ Neuroscience Center, USA.  Safe Routes to School, Vision Zero, and Complete Streets are three movements that have gained increasing attention and support in the United States. These movements support not only active transportation and the right to move, but most importantly, the right to move safely in one’s community. In an age of abundant standardized testing and decreased recreation in U.S. classrooms, it’s important that we provide our children with

We have the Human Right to MOVE. But what if our urban environments don’t allow us to move as freely as we would like? If you don’t live in one of Europe's top 6 cycling cities, getting around on two wheels with or without a helmet might seem like a death-defying exercise. But what if cities invested more in safe cycle paths and awareness campaigns for motorists? Cycling infrastructure such as Copenhagen’s Bicycle Snake (Cykelslangen), which created both an architect’s delight

ISCA is happy to announce that for this MOVE Congress we are launching an event-based app that will be your pocket guide throughout the conference.

Do physical activity promoters need to find more evidence to support their case for support and other advocacy efforts? Absolutely, says Dr Richard Bailey, Senior Researcher at the International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education (ICSSPE). But it has to be quality evidence from experts, and a collaborative effort is needed to get it noticed. Bailey gave an entertaining and eye-opening presentation on the power of advocacy at ISCA's Moving Europe - Moving People conference in Ljubljana last year. This

At this year’s MOVE Congress, one of the main tracks will focus on MOVEment Spaces. Gathering specialists from all around Europe, the sessions will focus on how urban spaces can be reframed as active spaces – even in densely populated cities. In the discussions, cities will get recoloured by the experts: we will look at “green” (parks and green spaces), “black” (paved and asphalt spaces) and “blue” (water) settings that can offer solutions to the perceived lack of MOVEment Spaces in

“Girl power” has never been stronger in UK sport, with participation-focused movements like This Girl Can, elite sportswomen getting into the spotlight, women taking the reins of sporting bodies such as Sport England and the FA – and being formally recognised for their efforts! At ISCA we are honoured to announce that some of these influential MOVERs will take the stage at the MOVE Congress on 5 and 6 October. Click here to see the current programme (more speakers to
