The Chartered Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences

We are delighted that back in May, BASES was granted the Charter of Incorporation by His Majesty King Charles III. The Royal Charter was granted in recognition of BASES’ quality and status as the pre-eminent body for the discipline of sport and exercise science in the UK. This Charter reflects the role of BASES, supporting, developing and guiding the profession into the future. The issue of a Royal Charter is also significant for the discipline of sport and exercise science, recognising it as a distinct, important and of significant public value. BASES’ role at the forefront of the discipline, working across academia and professional practice, gives strength to our professional voice and leadership nationally and internationally and offers great opportunity and pride for our current members and those who will join the profession in future.

As part of the process of reincorporation, as approved by the membership this time last year at the 2023 AGM, the Board agreed that the name of the organisation will change to The Chartered Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (CASES) to reflect the new status of the organisation. BASES will be reincorporated as CASES on 1 April 2025.
