Report

I had the opportunity to attend the 11th MathSport International Conference, which took place from 4-6 June 2025 in Luxembourg. The event brought together researchers working at the intersection of mathematics and sport, with three parallel sessions (Sports Analytics, Sports Scheduling, and Sports Medicine), five keynote speakers, and a Meet & Greet with world-famous athletes.

A particular highlight for me was the opportunity to connect with leading academics in my field. I presented my study, “Quarterly Changes in Player Movement and Positional Dispersion in NBA Games,” in the Sports Analytics session, where I received valuable feedback and discussed future research directions with peers from around the world.

I am truly grateful for the financial support from the VDS-PhaNuSpo Travel Grant programme, which made my participation possible.
