Masters in Sport Organisation Management (MEMOS)
The Executive Masters in Sport Organisation Management or Master Exécutif en Management des organisations sportives (MEMOS) began its first edition in 1995. It is a programme of the Olympic Solidarity Commission.
Its mission is to capacity build national and international professionals in the sporting world and develop the knowledge and skills to improve the management of sport organisations on all continents.
It was an idea of the European Network of Sport Science Institutes, supported by President Samaranch in 1994 and founded by Prof. Jean Camy and other colleagues from several European universities and schools of sport.
To date, 35 sporting professionals from the Oceania Continent have completed the MEMOS Programme and are giving back to sport through administration, management and leadership.
