Fairness in Sports Workshop
2026-06-12 | Budapest (Hungary), Budapest, Hungary
The Fairness in Sports workshop aims to bring together academic researchers and practitioners with an interest in sports, and fairness issues in particular. Following its inaugural session in Ghent (2018), the subsequent edition in London (2018), and the third edition in Ghent (2024), the workshop is hosted now by the Hungarian capital, Budapest!
Fairness in sport does not only mean assigning the top prizes to the best competitors. It is also about the way the tournament itself is organised. How to design rules that do not favour certain competitors? How to design a schedule of play that offers similar chances to each participant? How to reconcile various, often conflicting design criteria?
The workshop focuses on scientific methods to improve fairness in sports, both from a theoretical and a practical point of view. Topics will include tournament scheduling and rule design. Methods will mainly include game theory, operational research, and statistics.
The workshop will be a 1-day event and will take place on 12th June 2026 (Friday). It is hosted by Corvinus University of Budapest.
Registration will open in 2026.
