It was my great pleasure and honour that I spent a few days in Amsterdam with my colleagues from the Institute for Kinesiology Research at SRC UP and others, getting acquainted with some very interesting topics as well as spending time sightseeing while immersed in interesting conversations with other participants.
The next ECSS congress will be held between 24th and 27th June 2015 in Malmo, Sweden.

V veliko čast si štejem, da sem dneve v Amsterdamu preživel v družbi sodelavcev Inštituta za kineziološke raziskave UP ZRS in drugih. Predstavitve znanstvenih prispevkov, ogledovanje mestnih znamenitosti ter prijetni strokovni in družabni pogovori so letošnji kongres ECSS prijetno obogatili.
Naslednji kongres ECSS bo potekal od 24. do 27. junija 2015 v Malmu na Švedskem.
