The Olympic Research Centre in Liverpool is the first of over 70 worldwide to focus exclusively on inclusion and joins a network of Olympic Study Centres across the globe.
About the Liverpool Centre for Olympic Research on Inclusion
The centre’s vision is to create a global community in which everyone is included and able to participate in society, regardless of their ability, gender, ethnicity or socio-economic background, and where change is encouraged and celebrated to deliver this inclusive global community. Its purpose will be to advance knowledge and practice related to inclusion and participation for all in events and the impact this may have on society.
Following the launch, academic members from across LJMU’s Liverpool Business School, School of Sport and Exercise Sciences and Public Health Institute will work with global partners to deliver real-life impact on projects that focus on The Olympic Games, sport and inclusion.
