IOC Commission: Olympic Education

Univ.-Prof. Dr. Stephan Wassong has been appointed to the Olympic Education Commission of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for the fifth time in a row. The continuity of the appointments since 2014 shows the appreciation of the expertise that Prof. Wassong brings to the Commission. An important project for the IOC Commission is the evaluation of Olympic study programs and courses at and beyond the university level. Prof. Wassong is leading this project in collaboration with his colleague Prof. Dr. Thierry Zintz from the Université Catholique de Louvain.  A first meeting of the Commission will take place at the Olympic Congress “Olympism in Action”, to be held on the occasion of the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires, 5-7 October 2018. The official working week of all IOC commissions is currently scheduled at the end of January 2019.
