02 July 2025 – The IOC Olympic Studies Centre (OSC) has launched a new edition of the grant programme for PhD Students and Early Career Academics engaged in scholarly research on the Olympic Movement, its history and ideals, the athletes, the Olympic Games and their impact on society and culture.

Since the creation of this programme in 1999, more than 142 researchers from all over the world have benefited from this programme and received a grant, allowing them to conduct their research and, where relevant to visit the IOC Olympic Studies Centre in Lausanne, Switzerland to consult its collections (including primary sources from the IOC's historical archives).
