Call for Session Proposals


World Congress on Kinesiology and Sport Science 2026 (WCKSS 2026)

The Asian Society of Kinesiology (ASK) invites session proposals for the World Congress on Kinesiology and Sport Science 2026 (WCKSS 2026), held in conjunction with the ASK 2026 Annual Meeting from August 26–28, 2026, in Bali, Indonesia.


WCKSS 2026 aims to move beyond traditional knowledge exchange in Kinesiology and Sport Science by catalyzing a transformative paradigm shift in research methodologies through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration across natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences, the Congress seeks to expand the global impact of the field on health, society, and quality of life.


Guest speakers will be selected through a competitive proposal review process. Submission of a session proposal is required to be considered as a guest speaker.

Please review all the information provided here before submitting your proposal.

 

Proposal Submission Deadline: Friday, January 30, 2026 (24:00 Korean Standard Time).
