The role of sport in society has always been tied to boundaries and identities – actively creating, reinforcing, or dismantling them. Observing societies through sports gives a unique perspective for analysis and deeper understanding. This is why we are organising a section at the Annual Conference of the Hungarian Sociological Association to invite scholars and early career researchers to discuss sports’ role in society.

Panathlon is an International Movement for the promotion and dissemination of culture and sporting ethics, according to the official recognition of the IOC, and it aims to deepen, promote and defend the values of sport as a tool for training and enhancing the individual and as a vehicle of solidarity between people and communities around the world. The word “Panathlon” is of Greek origin, and can be translated with “group of sport disciplines” and its motto “Ludis Iungit” means “united by sport". Giorgio Chinellato, President of Panathlon International has the pleasure of inviting you to attend the 23rd Panathlon International Congress “75 Years Inspiring Unity Through Sport”.
