GSUN '26 Summit

Leading Sport in a Global Society

GSUN is a collective of universities from around the world that aggregates sport-related research and expertise from every discipline. We harness that knowledge to both analyze sport itself and harness the enormous potential of sport to address timely, complex problems in human performance, product engineering and innovation, exercise and wellness, inclusion, and other societal issues surrounding sport.

GSUN aggregates research, faculty insights and student energy to address topics that no one institution could fully address on its own. The network aims to be the connector linking industry, governing bodies, sport commissions, media and other key stakeholders with researchers, educators and higher education institutions.
