In the final session of the 1st International Colloquium of Olympic Studies Centres, which took place at Loughborough University in 2012, the value of holding such International Colloquia was clearly acknowledged, particularly because it brought Centre representatives together, promoted networking, fostered awareness of research and education related practice in the field of Olympic Studies, and provided opportunities for developing research and other forms of collaboration.
Thus, it was decided that future Colloquia should be held on a quadrennial basis, and should be associated with the host city or country of the forthcoming edition of the Games. It is now Brazil’s turn and the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul will, through its Olympic Studies Research Group, host the second edition of this Colloquium in Porto Alegre City.
The themes proposed for the Colloquium will follow on from those initiated at the previous event, or address matters arising from recent discussions such as those relating to the 2020 Agenda, and themes relating to on-going research carried out within and in cooperation between Olympic Studies Centres.
The 2nd International Colloquium of Olympic Studies Centres will take place on August 2 and 3, 2016, at room 301 of Building 81 of PUCRS’ Sports Park – Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul.
