Mission

In CIES we encourage continual progress and sustainable development in the management of sport around the world. Our approach is academic and multi-disciplinary, focusing on in-depth research and education. Through our international network, we go out into the sports world and enable our partners by building a community in which they can learn from and teach one another. We promote on-going exchange between those involved in the practical management of sport and those involved in its academic study. We provide solutions based on research and experience that can be adapted to local realities.
