Smart Move, an academic network for sports

Smart Move is a network of academic institutions that aims to turn the Lake Geneva region into an internationally renowned center for sports-related research and training. This network of nine institutions - including EPFL - will work to cultivate cross-disciplinary projects and strengthen ties with other entities that have an interest in this field. Network members will be present at The Spot, a sports-themed event to be held on 15 and 16 May at the SwissTech Convention Center. A number of academic institutions in the Lake Geneva region are active and possess expertise in the field of sports and physical exercise. Smart Move is an academic network that brings these institutions together with the aim of turning the Lake Geneva region - and particularly Vaud Canton - into an internationally renowned center for sports-related training and research. In a region that is well known for its dense sports ecosystem and that plays host to numerous international sports federations, Smart Move will serve to highlight the academic know-how on offer in order to encourage partnerships with and among these institutions. One of the Lake Geneva region's untapped assets is the highly diverse range of academic expertise in such a small area.
