FEPSAC Presidency. After the suggestion given by Anne-Marie Elbe (former President of FEPSAC) in her senior lecture at the asp conference in Halle/Saale 2019, the asp Executive Committee contacted the new FEPSAC President Markus Raab to find out more about the Opportunity for greater cooperation. Markus Raab was elected the new FEPSAC President at the congress in Münster in July 2019. He succeeds Anne-Marie Elbe, who left the Managing Council. The asp executive committee would like to thank Anne-Marie Elbe for her many years of commitment to the Managing Council and wishes Markus Raab all the best for his presidency.

DFG research. In addition to a few successful DFG individual applications, several working groups are currently involved in two DFG Priority Programs (SPP) with their own projects. In the SPP 2134 "The Active Self" Markus Raab (German Sport University Cologne) is involved with his own project. Several working groups are involved in SPP 1772 "Human performance under multiple cognitive task requirements: From basic mechanisms to optimized task scheduling": Rouwen Canal Bruland (University of Jena), Urs Cranacher (University of Potsdam), Mathias Hegele (University of Giessen), Stefan Künzell (University of Augsburg), Roman Liepelt (Fernuniversität Hagen), Hermann Müller (University of Gießen), Stefan Panzer (University of Saarland), Markus Raab (German Sport University Cologne), and Claudia Voelcker-Rehage (University of Münster). Furthermore, Claudia Volcker-Rehage (University of Münster) is represented with a project in the DFG Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 1410 “Hybrid Societies”.

BMBF research. Thomas Schack (Bielefeld University) and his working group were able to successfully apply for the BMBF project "Audiovisual support through a cognitive and mobile assistance system for the modern world of work" (AVIKOM). Claudia Voelcker-Rehage is represented with a sub-project in the BMBF research association "AEQUIPA II - Physical Activity, Justice and Health: Primary Prevention for Healthy Aging".

The Presidium continues to ask for the asp-Nachrichten to be informed of successfully acquired, competitive third-party funds in order to publish them in the Journal of Sport Psychology.
