JSSGS was funded in June 2002. Our mission is to "achieve gender equality and impartiality in sport" and to "build a gender biased-free sport culture," and to achieve those goals we hold periodical conferences; publish research journals; and release information on our webpage.
In July 2005 JSSGS changed its Japanese name and our operation is fuller yet. We hope that we can have researchers, educators, administrators, sport coaches, athletes, sport fans, as well as students in sport related majors in our sixth congress which will be held as follows:
