INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC CASE STUDY COMPETITION
Congratulations to all the 112 master’s students from 13 universities from across the
globe, who participated in the 2022/2023 edition of the International Olympic Case Study Competition (CSC)
on the topic “Environmental Sustainability in the Olympic Movement” for
taking on the challenge. The final was held in March in front of an international jury,
representing the Olympic Movement and the academic community. Information on the winning teams
is available here.
We are also happy to announce that we have now launched the 2023/2024 edition of the programme,

their sport and their values". The details and link for registration have been published

governance, sociology, media and communications or political sciences, check it out. We hope
that this programme meets your interest and invite you to share it with your peers.
NEW ON THE LINE WITH AN EXPERT SESSION
Did you miss our recent “On the Line with an Expert” session on the topic of the

Magali Martowicz, IOC Head of Human Rights, presented to more than 70 academics how the
new Framework is shaping the working practices of the IOC, the Olympic Games and the
Olympic Movement, ensuring that human rights are respected within their respective remits.
