Dear colleagues,

Welcome to Portugal, Covilhã and the University of Beira Interior.

On behalf of the Research Center in Sports Sciences, Health Sciences and Human Development – CIDESD, we would like to hereby extend a warm welcome to join us at our International Congress – CIDESD 2025.

CIDESD 2025 aims to provide a valuable opportunity for delegates to share, learn from and contribute to the most recent advances in Sports, Exercise and Health Sciences in a refreshing professional and social scenery.

We prepared a program that includes plenary sessions delivered by leading experts in the field, free communication sessions organized across our key research areas, industry exhibition, and plenty of networking opportunities.

Do not miss the opportunity to explore our region and visit the city of Covilhã and the “Serra da Estrela” Natural Park (the highest mountain range in Continental Portugal). Please be ready to join us at the congress dinner and after-party session and at the Science & Networking Sunset on the first day of the congress.

Excited and looking forward to meeting you here!

Please use #CIDESD2025 to post about us on social networks.
