Now in its 16th year, we are delighted to announce the 2026 Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Sport examining the dimensions and dynamics of state and non-state actors engaged in sport governance and regulation, and the power of sport diplomacy.
As with all previous colloquia, our aim is to examine this topic from a multitude of perspectives, bringing together academic, industry and stakeholder perspective.
