INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC ACADEMY 7th JOINT - IOA

ISSEP has already a network of collaborations. Among others:
� European College of Sport Science and the Swiss Network of
Sport Sciences
� Universities of Lyon (France) and Turin (Italy) for the
European diploma for physical trainers.
� European Association of Physical Education
� University of Bordeaux (France) for the European diploma of
adapted physical activities
� The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne
(EPFL) for different researches
� Swiss Olympic
Another important partner could be the Faculty of Biology and
Medicine (FBM). Its main missions are to convey, to go into in depth
and to develop the knowledge in the domain of biology and medicine
by the research, teaching and services. All departments are shared
with two main sections: the fundamental sciences section and the
clinical sciences section. The FBM already collaborates with different
faculties of the UNIL and the EPFL. Moreover, the FBM already
utilized several platforms of collaboration with the University hospital
(CHUV). One of these is called Platform of Metabolism Investigation
which could be very interesting, with its specific skills (biopsy,
calorimeter, etc.), for sport sciences researches (especially for applied
physiology and biomechanics).
c) The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne (EPFL)
The EPFL represents about 10.000 people (students, researchers,
architects, entrepreneurs, technical and administrative staff) on a
single site. With 80 different nationalities and 50% of its teaching staff
originating from abroad, the EPFL has a truly international vocation.
EPFL main missions:
� Training scientists, engineers and architects who will serve
society.
