TechnoSport:

A unique meeting ground for sport practitioners, researchers and industry.

A state-of-the-art facility dedicated to sport innovation and movement research, TechnoSport facilitates the study of performance in its broadest sense.

Interdisciplinary research expertise and technical support available on-site.   

Objectives

Develop an interdisciplinary approach to the study of sports performance and movement:

• Multiple disciplines working together on joint projects
• Pushing the bounderies of traditional research fields through interdisciplinary collaboration
• Streamlining the R&D relationship between industry and sport

Disciplines represented:

• Physiology
• Neurosciences
• Psychology
• Biomechanics
• Robotics
• Sociology

Our laboratories :

The Institute of the Sciences of Movement (ISM) Etienne-Jules Marey is a research laboratory supported by both Aix-Marseille University and the CNRS (National Centre for Scientific Research - a public organisation under the responsibility of the French Ministry of Education and Research).

In accord with the TechnoSport approach, the research themes of the ISM cut across traditional disciplinary bounderies to investigate the many determinants of movement.

The Sport MG Performance laboratory: a vehicle for the Chair of Society, Sport and Management’s research policy and born of a close collaboration between Sciences Po Aix and the Faculty of Sports Science at Marseille.

The Sport MG Performance laboratory pursues a policy of multidisciplinary research (political, human, social and management sciences) through a systemic and holistic vision to understanding and improving sports performance, management principles for sports teams and organisations, their particular environments, and their interactions.
