Congress
The 27th ECSS annual congress took place from 30 August to 2 September 2022 in the vibrant city of Sevilla, Spain.
After two years of lock downs and virtual congresses, the ECSS community was finally reunited in the heart of the arts. It was a fantastic week, full of engaging sport science. There was an incredible energy and buzz all around the congress venue from day one through to the final moments of Friday night. It was heart-warming to be back in person to experience it together.
A huge thank you to Congress Presidents, África Calvo Lluch and Eduardo Saez de Villareal Saez (pictured below) from Universidad Pablo de Olavide, and their team, for their patience, energy and commitment to making ECSS Sevilla 2022 a success!

New Editor-in-Chief
In January 2022, EJSS welcomed Professor Anni Vanhatalo back to the team as the new Editor-in-Chief for the journal. Anni is Professor of Human Physiology at the University of Exeter, UK. Her areas of expertise and interest include skeletal muscle bioenergetics, nitric oxide biology, power-duration relationship for high-intensity exercise, and endurance performance. She has been the Director of Research for the Department of Sport and Health Sciences since 2020 and she is also an ECSS Fellow. Anni has 10 years' experience with EJSS, previously working as Reviewing Editor and Associate Editor. Thank you Anni for all of your excellent work in 2022, we are looking forward to the next chapter!
Our outgoing Editor-in-Chief, Professor Andrew M. Jones, made an enormous contribution to EJSS during his editorship over the last 10 years and we would like to acknowledge Andy for his work and commitment. The College is honoured to now have Andy as an ECSS Executive Board member, where he is supporting and advising the College on all aspects of sport science and our role within the community.
