This is the second (unique) conference for those interested and involved in sport surface interactions
and sport surfaces research and practice. It is borne out of the successful ‘SportSURF’ network,
bringing together many academic disciplines and industrial parties to discuss and formulate research
needs for sport surfaces and their interactions for the future.
The conference provides an opportunity for the discussion of current research ideas and project
findings, dissemination of current practice and issues, and the transfer of technology and ideas
between attendees from the academic and industrial communities in the UK, Europe and from around
the world.
The specific objectives are:
The conference will be run over two days with a conference dinner at the National Space Centre in
Leicester on the first evening.
Presentations will be given on a broad range of topics by invited keynote speakers and free paper
authors, including leading practitioners & researchers. There will be a balance between science and
application aimed at stimulating questions and debate between researchers and practitioners.
Presentations will include a paper which will be distributed to all delegates electronically, either on a
CD or Flash drive.
NOTE: There is opportunity for poster presentations and limited space for exhibitions (first come
basis). If you are interesting in presenting/exhibiting your research please feel free to contact us at
sportsurf@lboro.ac.uk for further information.
