Call for Papers


Conference Theme: Bridging Sport, Tourism and Leisure Management


Call for Papers is CLOSED NOW – Thank you for the huge participation! 

Deadline for Submissions: 22nd April (23.59 CET)

The Scientific and Programme Committee of the 30th European Sport Management Conference of the European Association for Sport Management (EASM) invited scholars and practitioners to submit abstracts to be considered for presentation.

Additionally, we invited short papers to be considered for the EASM Best Conference Paper Award 2022 and for the ESMQ New Researcher Award 2022 for young scientific scholars. Reviewers contributing to assessing and progressing colleagues’ work in an excellent manner as part of the peer-review process will be awarded with the EASM Best Conference Reviewer Award 2022.

The Innsbruck 2022 conference theme is „Bridging Sport, Tourism & Leisure Management“. In that respect, submissions that particularly, but not exclusively, relate to the conference theme are encouraged. Contributors have the opportunity to present submissions not specifically related to the conference theme in Parallel Sessions, and Poster Sessions during the conference.

The main aim of all conference sessions is to encourage participants from across fields to share knowledge, provide new insights and inspire the future of sport management. Sessions also offer a platform to create inter- and cross-disciplinary contacts and collaborations.

Please carefully consider the submission guidelines for a successful submission of your abstract.
