Thematically, contributions are welcome from all areas of sports orthopedics, sports traumatology, biomechanics, and basic sports science. All submitted works are reviewed by an independent jury. Among other things, the experience of the participant plays an important role, so younger colleagues are evaluated differently than already experienced colleagues.

Deadline to submit papers was May 1, 2023.
