Napier Talks: Building Communities Through Sport…

We're delighted to invite you to Napier Talks: Building Communities Through Sport. Join us for an afternoon celebrating our academic excellence that recognises the power of sport in driving meaningful social, economic and community impact. 

This lecture brings together three Professors from the School of Applied Sciences, who will share insights from their research and practice, including:

• Exploring and impacting talent development environments in sport
• Supporting the growth of entire sectors built around sport, using cycling to illustrate how research can inform strategic investment - including the new Cycling Innovation Hub being developed in the Scottish Borders
• And in the development of a bold vision for how sport can drive social change and position Edinburgh Napier as a global leader through partnership, innovation, and impact.

Join us to hear from:

Professor Russell Martindale, Professor of Sport Psychology and Talent Development

Professor Tom Campbell, Professor of Enterprise and Knowledge Exchange in Sport

Professor Susan Brown, Professor of Applied Sport Science & Practice Innovation

We would be especially honoured to welcome national and international sports medallists to this event. If you are able, we warmly invite you to bring your medal(s) along. Sharing these achievements in person can be a powerful source of inspiration for our students, staff, and wider community.
