ISEA 2024: The Engineering of Sport 15, Loughborough University, Loughborough, UK, July 8-11, 2024
Conference papers for oral and poster presentations are invited and should be submitted by following the details provided below.
The Engineering of Sport 15 continues the close alignment of the conference papers and the ISEA journal, Sports Engineering. This alignment provides authors and presenters with the potential for their work to gain broader exposure and higher impact.
Submission Guidelines
All conference papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
Conference papers must be prepared using the MS Word template available on the conference website and Easychair. Each conference paper is limited to two pages (Calibri 12 pts) including a combined total of two figures and tables. Please ensure all visual content and captions are clear and legible, even when printed (≥ 300 dpi) and please ensure a minimum font size of Calibri 9 pt across all figures and tables. Please submit your conference paper in pdf format through the EasyChair portal by the deadline given above. Submissions that do not adhere to the guidelines provided are unlikely to be accepted. Please specify in the submission system if you would like to be considered for a Sports Engineering journal submission.
All conference papers accepted by the review committee, including those where authors have requested to be considered for publishing in the ISEA journal Sports Engineering, will be published in the Engineering of Sport 15 Conference Proceedings. Accepted conference papers will be assigned a DOI and will be collated in the proceedings and published online.
Authors of selected conference papers will be invited by the ISEA 2024 Scientific Programme Committee to submit a Research Article or Technical Note to the ISEA journal Sports Engineering. These submissions will need to follow the Sports Engineering Journal submission guidelines and all manuscripts will undergo the journal’s standard peer review procedures prior to being accepted for publication.

The conference will include special sessions on the following topics:
Metamaterials in Sport – This session is sponsored by the UK Metamaterials Network. Authors are required to indicate during the paper submission process whether they wish to be considered for this session.
Golf – The conference is sharing Golf sessions with the World Scientific Congress of Golf (WSCG) which is running in parallel with ISEA 2024. Authors are required to indicate during the paper submission process whether they wish their abstract to be considered for WSCG as well as The Engineering of Sport 15. This determines whether your (accepted) paper will appear in the Proceedings of both conferences. Note, this will require registration for both conferences.
