Science & Cycling offers events related to the developments in cycling.
The main meeting place is the annual conference which travels around Europe; generally organised in conjunction with the start of the Tour de France or another major event in cycling.
The first edition of the conference was organised in Leeds 2014.
During the conference experts from the competitive cycling world and scientists will exchange the latest research and experiences. Alongside the conference an experience square will be set up in which companies and institutes can give demonstrations of their products and technologies.
The participants will consist of researchers, doctors, nutrition experts, sports directors, cycling organisations, trainers and cyclists/triathletes. The conference aims to get also contributions from other sport disciplines all with the objective of learning and sharing experience.
