Tokyo, which had previously played host in 1964, became the first city in Asia to have won the right to stage the Games on two occasions.
Tsukuba International Academy for Sport Studies (TIAS) has conducted education and research from fiscal 2014 to fiscal 2020 on leading-edge knowledge such as development of sport management and sports for peace, based on education on the Olympics and Paralympics. TIAS, established within the University of Tsukuba based in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, as part of the “Sport for Tomorrow (SFT)” program put forward by the Japanese government, has released a report on the results of the initiative and its future prospects as the culmination of the seven-year efforts.
The report details a framework for project management, TIAS’s collaboration with the International Academy of Sport Science and Technology (AISTS), TIAS-AISTS short-term programs and a Sport Olympic degree program. It also carries messages by those who have completed these programs, and achievements of research, TIAS’s collaboration with the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and other international sport organizations based in Japan and overseas, domestic and overseas dissemination of information (publicity activities), response to novel coronavirus infections, efforts education and research, and networking (including with the IOC).
TIAS hopes that people interested in the project will read the report by visiting the following website:
