IOC Grants you a Chance to Study for the Olympics
The IOC’s Olympic Studies Centre (OSC) has launched its 2010 study grants programme aimed at young researchers engaged in scholarly research on the Olympic Movement.
The programme aims to encourage postgraduate students to undertake research with a humanities or social sciences perspective of the Olympics. Young researchers are encouraged to develop a network of colleagues from different disciplines and countries, whilst also consulting with the IOC’s written and audiovisual heritage.
The main fields of research include:
- The Olympic Movement’s Contribution to Society: Challenges and Opportunities.
- Young People and their Relationship with Sport and Olympism (Interest, Participation and Engagement).
- The Various Aspects of the Legacy of the Olympic Games. How can an Olympic City Remain “Olympic”?
- Career Changes for Elite Athletes: from Conscious to Practical Realisation.
- Multimedia and Sport: Future Issues.
The programme is open to all current postgraduate students (doctoral candidates), as well as university professors who have completed their doctorate or equivalent terminal degree in the last five years and currently hold an academic appointment.
Grants are awarded based upon the quality of the application, the significance and originality of the proposed research, the feasibility of the project and the candidate’s ability to carry out the project. The Grant Programme selection committee is composed of world-renowned experts in the field of Olympic studies, and OSC officers.
