From May 14 to 16, 2026, the Departments of Education and Culture in Sport and Physical Education and Teaching in Sport participated in the 39th Annual Conference of the dvs Section Sport Pedagogy in Frankfurt am Main. The conference was held under the theme “Educational Biographies in Sport – Actors in Dialogue.”
The Department of Sport and Exercise Psychology has received funding from the Federal Institute for Sports Science (BISp) to implement the transfer project “CuLTT-LA28 – Coaching and Leadership Culture of the German Gymnastics Team – Men’s Artistic Gymnastics – On the Road to LA 2028.” From May 2026 to July 2027, Sebastian Brückner will support the national team on its path to Olympic qualification to support the necessary performance development in context of the current generational shift within the team.
Axel Binnenbruck’s new handball textbook is aimed at athletes, coaches and trainers. It combines theoretical insights into the sport of handball with practical recommendations for training and competition. This Praxisbuch für Studium, Training und Freizeitsport takes readers through all the phases of a handball training session, emphasising the importance of teaching methods that closely resemble actual gameplay.
“Women Into Science” is an event organized by the Equal Opportunity Commission, taking place on May 11 from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. The goal is to raise the profile of women in science and showcase a variety of career paths. Female scientists will share their personal career stories, offer insights into their daily work lives, and discuss the experiences, challenges, and opportunities they have encountered on their journey into science.
On May 27, 2026, at 6 p.m., we will host an online transfer workshop to mark the conclusion of the project.
Together with Olympic soccer champion and TV expert Tabea Kemme, Mareike Miller (Paralympic wheelchair basketball champion and member of the executive board of Athleten Deutschland e.V. and the German Olympic Sports Confederation), and Dr. Kristin Behrens (board member of the German Athletics Association), we will discuss the possibilities and limitations of political activism in sports in Germany. We will also present our key research findings.
The workshop is open to the public! Please register: REGISTRATION
