European College of Sport Science (ECSS) 22nd Annual Congress

European College of Sport Science (ECSS) 22nd Annual Congress is organized by European College of Sport Science (ECSS) and would be held during Jul 05 - 08, 2017 at Messe Essen GmbH, Essen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.

A congress is not only a place for transfer of knowledge but also for learning about the host country and its people. In the area of MetropolisRuhr, there has been a huge transformation from an area of coal mining and steel production to a modern metropolis of the 21st century. Our region is famous for its social diversity, a fusion of industrial history and trendy culture and numeral recreational and high-performance sporting activities. In direct neighbourhood to CCE, one can find the famous “Grugapark” offering a botanical garden with rare and beautiful plants, an attractive safari park, a health facility and spa, and a gastronomic place that invites you to get together in several stylish restaurants. The illuminated main path is perfect for doing your own recreational activities, like running or walking, and in a just five minutes’ walk you can reach the popular dining and nightlife area “Rüttenscheider Straße”, where local pubs invite you to linger after a long and busy congress day. If you like to learn more about Germany, we will recommend you to visit the city of Cologne and other spots in the region of North-Rhine Westphalia, as well as some of the most famous touristic places somewhere else in Germany, like the Alps in the south, the Wadden Sea in the north, or the manifold attractions of our pulsatile capital Berlin.
