The integration of research and practice remains a challenge in elite sport. While scientific insights are increasingly valued, their implementation lags behind. Bridging this gap requires targeted funding programs, well-defined roles, and innovative projects that connect research and practice. This symposium highlights three distinct approaches aimed at fostering this integration.
The first presentation by Swiss Olympic provides an overview of funding structures designed to strengthen the connection between science and practice. It outlines the objectives and criteria of these initiatives and discusses the challenges encountered in their implementation.
The second presentation focuses on the concept of "embedded scientists," professionals embedded within sport organizations who address scientific questions closely aligned with the organizations' needs. This offers insights into practical challenges and success factors for achieving effective research-practice integration.
The third presentation introduces the "power to win" project, a collaborative initiative between Swiss Olympic and multiple federations. The project leader reflects on the outcomes and evaluates the project in terms of its contribution to bridging the gap between research and practice.
This symposium provides insights into strategies and models that enhance collaboration between research and practice in sport. It invites discussion on how such initiatives can be further developed and implemented.
