The Chartered Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (CASES) is the leading professional body in the United Kingdom for individuals working in sport and exercise sciences. Its members include academics, applied practitioners, researchers, and students committed to advancing the scientific study and professional practice of sport and exercise science. CASES supports developing and disseminating evidence-based knowledge, fosters professional standards, and promotes the contribution of sport and exercise sciences to health, performance, and well-being across diverse populations.
This Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) sets out the collaborative relationship agreed upon by the ISSP and CASES, with the aim of strengthening the activities of both organizations and promoting cooperation in international contexts for the benefit of professionals within each body.
The MoU seeks to establish a mutually respectful partnership that acknowledges each organization’s remit and expertise and supports practitioners in their respective fields. Both parties commit to working together to advance the field of Sport and Exercise Psychology in the UK and worldwide.
The agreement was signed in November 2024 by Robert J. Schinke, ISSP president and CASES’ Chief Executive Officer, Ian Wilson, and can be read in full on the CASES website.
ISSP President Robert J. Schinke commented:
“The ISSP is excited to sign this new agreement with CASES and pleased to be working in collaboration. This is a wonderful opportunity to build and expand support for psychologists globally.”
