ECSS FELLOW
Stefan Kolimechkov PhD, FECSS
The European College of Sport Science (ECSS) was founded in 1995 in Nice, France. The ECSS is the leading association of sport scientists in Europe with the purpose to promote science and research in sport.
I joined the College as a member in 2017, and I was recognised as a Fellow of the ECSS in 2024 at the Annual Congress in Glasgow.

My Contribution to the College
I have been a member of the College since 2017. In 2024, I was officially recognised as a Fellow of the European College of Sport Science (FECSS) by the Credentials, Awards & Tributes Committee of the European College of Sport Science. Fellows of the ECSS have made a significant contribution to the development of sports science through research and have supported the College immensely. Some of the requirements to become a Fellow of the ECSS include: PhD level, minimum of five years membership, minimum of 3 participations in annual congresses of the ECSS, 15 publications (submitted as first or last author), and evidence of contribution to sports science and the ECSS.
