    Exciting News from the Footwear Biomechanics Symposium 2025!

    All abstracts for FBS 2025 have been submitted, and submissions are now officially closed! We are thrilled to welcome researchers, industry professionals, and enthusiasts to the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences in Oslo this July for an inspiring exchange of knowledge and innovation in footwear biomechanics. 🏃‍♂️👟

    In addition to groundbreaking research, we’re excited to showcase "Footwear Footprints" by R. Kim Asmussen & Michael J. Asmussen—a remarkable fusion of art and science that explores the intersection of biomechanics and creativity. 🎨👣

    Stay tuned for more updates, and we look forward to seeing you in Oslo!

    Welcome to FBS 2025!

    Dear Delegates,

    We are delighted to host the 17th Biennial Footwear Biomechanics Symposium (FBS) and to welcome you to the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences in Oslo, Norway in July 2025. This FBS marks the fifth in-person FBS to take place in Europe, and the first in Scandinavia (sadly*).

    After the huge success of the 16th FBS 2023 in Osaka, Japan with over 200 delegates and six invited speakers, we are anticipating another fantastic Footwear Biomechanics Symposium in 2025. Thanks to Natsuki Sato and the Organising Committee of FBS 2023 for their help and guidance in preparation for FBS 2025. *We would also like to thank Stefan Grau for his fantastic organisation of FBS 2021 which was moved online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. His insight has been invaluable to us in our preparations for FBS 2025 so far.

    We hope that FBS 2025 will display exciting, novel research across different themes within footwear biomechanics, showcasing science that has implications for diverse groups of individuals. We look forward to receiving your abstracts and to identifying the emerging themes and popular topics of this two-year period since the last submissions.

    We are currently working to design a social program that makes the most of Oslo's beautiful surrounding scenery at this time of year, whilst bringing together familiar and new faces. As promised, we plan to offer camping close to the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences as an accommodation option. Watch this space…!

    One of our goals is to strive to minimise the environmental damage of FBS 2025 and to consider the sustainability where possible. There is value in being together in person, but we acknowledge that travelling to conferences and accommodating ~200 delegates is environmentally damaging and resource-demanding. We are not going to provide any physical souvenirs from the symposium but encourage you to reuse any merchandise from previous FBS events. Let's see what you have stored away!

    We look forward to seeing in July 2025.

    Signaure Rice and Arndt
