The symposium supports students who seek to learn and gain skills and knowledge in the area of biomechanics of sport and ageing with a special reference to artificial intelligence. Therefore, the Hungarian University of Sports Science through the Department of Kinesiology offers students the opportunity to receive two continuing education credits for participating in the 2nd Scientific Symposium of Biomechanics in Sport and Ageing: Artificial Intelligence.

By registering for the course linked to the symposium HERE, students can earn continuing education credits through the NEPTUN educational system. To obtain the two credits, students must attend the symposium in person or online on 15-16 October 2024 and take notes during each presentation. After the symposium, students must submit these notes to a designated member of the organizing committee by 17.00, 23 October 2024. Late submissions will not be considered.
