Research
The SIMS Chair’s program is based on three main pillars inspired by the public health approach: (1) surveillance, (2) the development, implementation, and evaluation of interventions, and (3) knowledge mobilization and transfer. Together, these pillars contribute to the advancement, dissemination, and application of knowledge aimed at preventing violence in sports (VIS).
Pillar 1 – Surveillance
This theme will deepen, broaden and expand the current knowledge of VIS to guide the search for solutions.
