At the 16th International Scientific Conference of the Montenegrin Sports Academy, held in Dubrovnik from April 4th to 7th, Dasha Pruš, from the University of Ljubljana, was named the best young scientist, and Rozelin Okeh, from the University of Newfoundland, Canada, for the best woman in science.
The conference, which UNESCO's International Council for Sports Science and Physical Education declared as one of the most significant sports events for 2019, gathered 223 delegates from 42 countries, while 367 authors and co-authors signed the scientific works.
In addition to the Montenegrin Sports Academy, the organizers of the conference are the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education from Niksic and 12 partner universities from the EU and the region.
"The undivided opinion of the participants and the organizer of the conference is that the conference justified all expectations and that the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education and the Montenegrin Sports Academy made an additional step in the promotion of sports science and its significance, but also in linking the scientific and research community of the participating countries," said the chairman of the conference, prof. Dr Dusko Bjelica.
The novelty of this year's conference is the CEEPUS training school "How to write and publish scientific work in the field of sports science", which was followed by 32 postgraduates and doctoral students. They had the opportunity to participate in the discussions led by eminent regional and world scientists and researchers in the field of sports, social, humanistic and medical sciences. "A great acknowledgement to this conference is the open possibility of holding the next conference in France because the French University, Côte d'Azur, expressed interest for the next conference to be held in Nice, Antibes," the organizers said.
This is the first conference organized outside of Montenegro. Previous conferences were held in Bar, Kotor, Tivat, Herceg Novi, Podgorica and Budva. Scientific papers from the conference will be published in the magazines Sport Mont, the Montenegrin Journal of Sports Science and Medicine and the Journal of Anthropology of Sport and Physical Education, which are indexed in prestigious world-wide international databases.
