摘要

Olympic Studies Centers play an important role in the world today: the strategic vision of promoting an Olympic Studies Center in a university for the promotion of Olympic values in students, for a deep knowledge of the Olympic Movement, the research and development of Olympic sports and the union of the universities from the perspective of an alliance between the Olympic Studies Centers in the future. The Olympic Movement is an action elaborated by International Olympic Committee. The most valuable heritage of the Olympic Movement is that it brings together more than 200 countries. The National Olympic Committees and Olympic Studies Centers promote the Olympic Movement. The goals of the Olympic Studies are to generate a multicultural knowledge perspective, to create a multidisciplinary network linking academics around the world, to promote the Olympism and its values, to enrich most needed communities through sport education. Olympic Movement does not touch any country in the world therefore this is a strategic task. Main goals of the Olympic Studies Center are to enrich, preserve and disseminate the written and audiovisual heritage of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), to offer researching tools and service of content creation to the IOC administration, to encourage research, teaching and publications related to Olympism, to collaborate with the other members of the Olympic Movement in order to preserve and disseminate the Olympic heritage.
