Its focus is on the optimisation of private and public sports organisations, the analysis of national and international sports systems, and the sustainable construction and efficient operation of sports facilities.

The department Teaching and sports education focused specifically on three topic areas with societal relevance: sport and prevention in the armed forces, professional skills in teaching sport and ethics and diversity in sport.
