Academic Olympic studies
and research centres
Since the 1980s, a growing number of universities and National Olympic Committees (NOCs) have responded to the academic interest in Olympic-related topics by creating dedicated university-based Olympic Studies and Research Centres (OSRCs). These centres seek to promote teaching, research, publications and conferences about the Olympic Movement and the Olympic Games with a humanities or social sciences perspective.
In 2020, the IOC Olympic Studies Centre produced its “Guidelines for the Academic Olympic Studies and Research Centres”, with a view to providing a general framework for university-based OSRCs, ensuring full alignment with the Olympic Charter, while respecting their independence in terms of academic activities. Further important objectives of the Guidelines are to give visibility to the work of the OSRCs as well as to promote the network of academic OSRCs and foster collaboration and exchange among its members.
Academic OSRCs that have gone through the individual review and compliance process to become part of the OSCR network are listed below and in the pdf list available here. The information on the webpage and in the list will be regularly updated, and new academic OSRCs created by universities in compliance with our Guidelines will be included. Should you be interested in establishing an academic Olympic Studies and Research Centre, we invite you to contact the IOC Olympic Studies Centre.
