The 2nd International Conference on Injury and Illness Prevention in Sport aims to bring together researchers, clinicians, practitioners and students to explore contemporary challenges in sport and exercise medicine.

The meeting is hosted by the UK Collaborating Centre on Injury and Illness Prevention in Sport, which is an IOC Research Centre of Excellence, and offers a great chance to hear about the latest developments in the field, interact with world-leading experts, and discuss translation from research to practice.

The conference is taking place at the University of Bath on 17th and 18th June 2026, with the scientific programme spread over the 2 days. Your ticket includes access to all the sessions and a conference dinner in the city centre on the 17th June, as well as a welcome reception on 16th June, the night before the conference starts.

We warmly welcome you to the historic and picturesque city of Bath for the Third Conference on Engineering Porous Materials at Multiple Scales (EPoMM).

This conference brings together researchers from the diverse field of porous materials, fostering collaboration across the many scales of their study and application. Our aim is to encourage the cross-fertilisation of ideas, methodologies, and potential applications while showcasing advances in fields including renewable energy, gas separation, catalysis, water treatment, electronics, and healthcare.

Egrove Park is situated in a beautiful setting and is based just 2 miles (a 10-minute drive away) from the city centre. Built in 1969 it retains some very quirky features reminiscent of 1960s architecture. Its proximity to the A34, the Oxford ring road and the M40 allow easy access to nearby places of interest such as Blenheim Palace and for the business traveller, Oxford science and business parks are only minutes away.

Egrove Park is a purpose-built residential centre for Executive and Leadership Programmes at Saïd Business School, therefore all bedrooms are of high specification; executive in style and with ensuite facilities.

Bedrooms are single occupancy. Please check your selection at the time of booking. The bedrooms also benefit from having tea and coffee making facilities; fridge; TV, safe; hairdryer; toiletries and a large desk area.

Bedrooms are located in the annexe and unfortunately, there is no access to any wider facilities such as a bar, cafe, restaurant, gym, lounge, meeting rooms or business centre. All bedrooms are booked subject to availability.

Please note the annexe is located a few minutes’ walk from the main building in a beautiful woodland setting. There are steps leading up to the main reception for check-in so you may wish to leave your luggage in the car or at the bottom of the steps whilst checking in to avoid carrying your luggage unnecessarily.
