Research and services
The main focus of the SFISM is practice-oriented research and development in the field of sports science, as well as services that are geared to the needs of the Swiss sports system. Findings from this flow into the teaching at the SFISM.
Research and development, service provision and teaching are constantly feeding into one another. Findings from research and development are incorporated into the services offered by the SFISM, as well as into study programmes and continuing education. Conversely, these services lead to insights that can influence research and development and are also incorporated into teaching.
