As in previous years, the International Olympic Committees (IOC) Olympic Studies Centre has selected Univ.-Prof. Dr. Stephan Wassong, Head of the Institute for Sport History and Director of the Olympic Studies Centre Cologne as reviewer of the “Advanced Olympic Research Grant Programme” of the IOC.
