Welcome

APR 2015

With the publication of this issue comes the launch of our brand new

website which we hope you will love! It’s been built from scratch to suit exactly the needs of you, our readers. The goal is that it will be come a fully flexible learning community developed on a foundation of great quality ‘translational’, practical, hands-on content.

We can now work with University courses, education providers, corporate businesses, event organisers and professional associations around the world to publish custom branded websites and mobile apps using the content hosted on our platform. And the content doesn’t have to originate from sportEX either if you have some of your own, or if you want to supplement your own with some of ours. Over the comming months we will be working with one of each of the above groups as case studies to demonstrate exactly what this means in practical terms. Basically we can build a content portal for your members, a resource portal for your students, some education resources for users of your products or an online community for anyone running events. If you’re interested in any of these opportunities get in contact. In the meantime, enjoy the new site :)
