In 2024, the state games of the Special Olympics NRW will be held in Münster.

The reform of the Federal Youth Games has triggered far-reaching discussions about the idea of performance in physical education and in children's sports. Professor Klaus Zierer and Professor Nils Neuber have now discussed in a guest article on the Robert Bosch Foundation's German School portal on what this debate might say about the culture of performance in the school context as a whole.

In the textbook series "Basic Knowledge of Learning in Sport" the third volume on subject didactics by Prof. Nils Neuber has been published. Thus, the subject didactics lecture in M.Ed. is completely covered. While the new volume under the title "Subject didactics sport - fundamentals and models" lays the general foundation, the other two volumes deal with the specific requirement and decision fields of subject didactic concepts.

At this year's dvs General Assembly Bernd Strauß, Dennis Dreiskämper and Barbara Halberschmidt invited to the dvs Congress 2025 in Münster under the motto 'Diversity and Sustainability in Sports Science ?!'!

The congress will take place from 17 -19.9. 2025 at the castle and surrounding buildings. Sports scientists from all disciplines can participate in the congress.

On September 13 and 14, this year's second research meeting of the project team on "Subject-based Education in Sport", FaBiS for short, took place. The focus was on the joint research work, in which exercise processes in physical education were analyzed on the basis of instructional videos. In addition, initial preparations were made for a research proposal. Four universities are involved in the project: Ilka Lüsebrink (missing on the photo) from PH Freiburg, Vera Volkmann from the University of Hildesheim, Helga Leineweber from the University of Münster and Petra Wolters from the University of Vechta.

AOR Dr Barbara Halberschmidt attended the 8th school sports day of the dslv Lower Saxony at the University of Oldenburg on September 13th, 2023 and was able to network and make new contacts on site. Former IfS colleagues were also there (Prof. Büsch, Prof. Schorer, Drs. Pöppel and Rienhoff).

14 doctoral students were guests at the Willi-Michels educational center in Welper from September 5th to 7th to work on their dissertations in a focused manner. Besides writing, the conference concentrated on the exchange of information on questions concerning the career after the doctorate. The head of the Career Service from the University of Münster, Dr. Andreas Eimer, came to the event especially to hold an exciting workshop with the doctoral students. In addition to the writing time, there was plenty of opportunity for exchange among the doctoral students in more informal rounds, which everyone experienced as profitable. The writing workshop was led by Birte Brinkmöller, Dr. Kathrin Kohake and Dr. Robert Stojan on behalf of the Young Researchers Initiative. The next writing workshop is planned for February/March.
