The GDC 2022 is an initiative led by University College Cork to generate innovative solutions to challenges faced in sport and physical activity and broader issues such as obesity.

There is a real opportunity for sport and physical activity to contribute towards improvements in health and wellbeing, national policy goals as well as the Sustainable Development Goals and Kazan Action Plan. We want to bridge the gap between policy and action!

The initiative was a huge success in 2020 and 2021 with teams over 50 countries contributing ideas, some of which are now in full incubation.

We want to improve on last year by making GDC 2022 more inclusive, truly global and creating real impact and we are hoping that you will join us in making that happen.
