Researchers from the respective sport and exercise sciences programs have already been working together on topics such as sports psychology, strength and conditioning, environmental physiology, sports integrity, and rugby science. The partnership will build on that foundation, to develop a range of new collaborations that support each university’s strategic research and teaching objectives. Planned future activities in 2024 include a regular seminar series, seedcorn funding to develop research projects, reciprocal student exchange, and joint teaching activities.
