International conference at the University of Lausanne
What are the relationships between martial arts, globalisation and tradition? What are the dynamics and effects of each on the others?
This conference poses these questions to the growing interdisciplinary field of martial arts studies, in a landmark international event: a conference that brings together for the first time the Martial Arts Studies Research Network and the German Martial Arts and Combat Sports Commission.
Taking place in the Institute of Sport Sciences of the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, with events also taking place at the Confucius Institute (University of Geneva) and the Olympic Museum (Lausanne), this is a major event for the international and multidisciplinary academic study of martial arts.
The conference (initially planned in 2021) has been deferred to June 29 – July 2, 2022.
Registration is closed (27.05.2022).

Measures to ensure the health situation
Since February 16, 2022, almost all measures against the coronavirus have been lifted by the Federal Government. Personal responsibility is still the way forward: It’s important to continue to follow the rules on hygiene and social distancing (Federal Office of Public Health) and, if possible, to get vaccinated. If you have symptoms, stay at home and get tested, even if you’ve been vaccinated or have recovered from COVID. Many thanks for your cooperation.
