AIESEP Vision and Sub Committees

AIESEP’s aim (as per its constitution) is to promote high quality research worldwide in the areas of physical education, physical activity and sport pedagogy across the lifespan

To achieve this aim, AIESEP has seven key objectives, as outlined in its constitution:

  1. To promote and support scientific research in professional preparation and professional practice in physical education, physical activity and sport pedagogy across the lifespan
  2. To organize scientific meetings and information dissemination mechanisms which facilitate the sharing of new knowledge with the international community
  3. To endorse appropriate scientific meetings which further the aims of AIESEP
  4. To promote cross-cultural research
