FIDES values

At FIDES, our work is built on values that place girls’ and women’s health, development, and performance at the centre. Our values serve as guiding principles to ensure that our research is forward-looking, bold, and relevant, while being grounded in evidence and co-creation with key actors in sport. They express who we are, what we stand for, and how we aim to contribute to a more inclusive and equitable sports culture.

Our values

F – Forward-thinking

Long-term health, well-being, and performance development are at the core of our work.

I – Innovative

We develop, test, and evaluate new interventions to address tomorrow’s challenges in sport.

D – Daring

We challenge a status quo where female-specific studies are the exception, not the rule.

E – Evidence-based

All decisions are grounded in research and evidence-based practice.

S – Synergetic

We believe in interdisciplinary collaboration for the best possible knowledge development.
