The European Judo Union Education Commission

The EJU Education Commission has the pleasure to organise each year the Poster Exhibition for Research.

All sessions consist of presentations of works related to any aspect of judo. Such areas may include, but are not limited to, topics related to the sport aspect of judo, including exercise physiology, strength and conditioning, sport psychology, injury rehabilitation, rest and recovery, nutrition, and the like. Topics may also include any area of judo history, philosophy, culture, or values as well.

The European Judo Union presents awards to at least three outstanding posters based on originality, methodology, quality, clarity, and contribution to judo.
