In October 2025, the Chartered Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (CASES) and the Irish Sport and Exercise Sciences Association (ISESA) announced a new strategic partnership and signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This is the first of its kind between both representative bodies and is the culmination of many months of dialogue and cooperation between both.

The MOU outlines the agreed collaborative relationship between both Associations for the purposes of enhancing the activities of each organisation and fostering co- operation in an international context for the benefit of all professionals involved within the respective organisations.
The agreement outlines CASES and ISESA’s wish to develop a mutually respectful and collaborative relationship to develop the future sport and exercise scientists, through continuing professional development, including webinars and workshops, publications and resources, and the promotion of each other’s conferences, with reciprocal member pricing.
The Agreement also commits to explore similarities and differences within the respective accreditations, and to explore the possibility of offering a reduced membership fee for those members who wish to join both Associations.
