International Pierre de Coubertin Committee

At the General Assembly of the International Pierre de Coubertin Committee (IPCC), which took place in Lausanne from 29 to 30 January 2022, Prof. Wassong was re-elected for a second term as President. The IPCC has been a so-called IOC recognised organisation since 1984.

According to Prof. Wassong, the following years will be very interesting, as the IPCC can and should show its expertise, especially with regard to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. To this end, projects have already been initiated, some of which are being organised and implemented in cooperation with international partner organisations. During his term of office, Prof. Wassong will be supported by the Vice Presidents Prof. Dr Junko Tahara (Japan) and Prof. Dr Nelson Scheider-Todt (Brazil). Members of the Extended Board such as Prof. Dr Kostas Georgiadis (International Olympic Academy, Olympia), Prof. Dr Gary Rhodes (USA), Helen Brownlee (Australia), Katarsyna Deberny (Poland) and Hilla Davidov (Israel) demonstrate the global orientation of the IPCC.
