Dear Friends and Colleagues,
On behalf of the hosts, the Physical Activity and Sports Tech for Healthy Lifestyles (PASTECHL) and the Montenegro Future Festival (MFF), as well as the Erasmus+ project teams from Western Balkan Sport Innovation (WBSI Lab), PASTECHL, and the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education at the University of Montenegro, along with the Conference Organizing Committee, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the four-day interdisciplinary PASTECHL Scientific Conference. The event will take place in Bar, Montenegro, from 23–26 April 2026, under the patronage of our valued partner institutions who share our vision.
We are preparing an exciting program under the main theme: “Sport, Science, and Technology for the Future of the Olympic Movement.” The program will feature invited keynote lectures, workshops, project presentations, and parallel oral and poster sessions. At the same time, we will ensure there are ample opportunities to connect with colleagues, explore new avenues for collaboration, and establish innovative academic and industry networks, a key purpose of this event.
The conference will provide a platform for sharing recent research advances and both theoretical and practical insights in the fields of sport, exercise, and health. This international scientific meeting, delivered in a hybrid format, aims to bring together physicians, scientists, therapists, coaches, trainers, and all professionals and stakeholders interested in sport, exercise science, and technology-driven healthy lifestyles.
We sincerely look forward to welcoming you to Bar, Montenegro, from 23–26 April 2026!
With warm regards,
Prof. Dr. Selcuk Akpinar
Conference President
