GREETINGS

Fiona Chambers

President AIESEP

Dear AIESEP Family,
On behalf of the AIESEP Board, it gives me great pleasure to warmly invite you to participate in the 2023 AIESEP Conference in Santiago de Chile. This will be the first time that Chile has hosted an AIESEP conference and most importantly the first time that an AIESEP conference has been hosted in Latin America. A range of universities and organisations have collaborated to make this a reality – Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Maule, Universidad Andrés Bello, Universidad Santiago de Chile and the Santiago de Chile Convention Bureau.

The 2023 AIESEP Conference presents a unique opportunity to share high quality sport pedagogy research from every corner of the world in order to enact our AIESEP vision, mission and values. We look forward to the powerful synergies of world leading scholars and practitioners exchanging data-driven insights to inspire new thinking on how we might engage citizens across the globe to move well and move often for life, in a post-pandemic world. We also look forward to the wonderful hospitality of the members of our Chilean and Latin American AIESEP family.

It is my pleasure to announce that The AIESEP (International Association for Physical Education in Higher Education) 2023 World Conference will take place in Santiago, Chile and will be hosted for the first time in Latin America by our Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile from July 4th to 7th, 2023.
We are very proud and happy to organize this event and contribute to the development of physical education and sports in the region. Under the theme of “Emerging horizons: Bridging the borders between physical education research and practice”, the Conference´s aim is to promote quality research on physical education, physical activity and the teaching of sports.
This important event will be an unprecedented opportunity in Latin America to share experiences and exchange information on recent research results with participants from the region.
We invite you to attend the 2023 AIESEP World Conference and experience the best of Chilean culture.
We look forward to welcoming you next July.
With friendly greetings,

Jorge Silva Bórquez
