ULB Interdisciplinary Research Institute for Sports (U-IRIS)

Faculty of Motor Skills Sciences | Research Centers

(Code: ULB835)

U-IRIS is intended to bring together research skills existing at ULB in the fields of sports and physical activity in order to stimulate collaboration and
interdisciplinary research. The research carried out within U-IRIS could be the basis of evidence-based advice in various fields of sport and physical
activity. ULB and each of U-IRIS partner groups, as well as their existing activities, platforms, infrastructures and collaborations, will gain in visibility,
both internally and externally in a promising and rapidly evolving field.

The research carried out by U-IRIS is designed to be both fundamental and
applied. It is developed around five major axes:
- clinics / sports medicine
- high level sports / performance
- rehabilitation / handicap and sports
-
sports and society (including education through sports)
- prevention / public health / nutrition.

The groups participating in U-IRIS represent the
Faculties of Philosophy and Social Sciences, Medicine, Psychology and Educational Sciences, Motor Sciences, the Solvay Brussels School of Economics and
Management, the School of Public Health, the Research Department, ULB-Sports and the Erasme Academic Hospital.
