Sports Analytics research at LiU
Our group
The group on Sports Analytics was started at the end of 2017. We are researchers from different labs at Linköping University, primarily from its Department of Computer and Information Science (IDA) with a common interest in various aspects of Sports Analytics.Our field
Sports analytics deals with using data related to sports events to obtain insights about the sport and its surroundings. In our group we interpret this broadly. The insights can relate to such things as player and team performance, strategies, training, injuries, and rules of the game.
Course
Since 2019 we have held a course in Sports Analytics every year in Spring (VT2).
