What We Do
Promote evidence-informed policy
ICSSPE advocates for policies that are grounded in robust scientific research and international best practice. We support decision-makers by translating research into practical recommendations that strengthen sport, education and public health systems.
Foster international dialogue
Global challenges require global solutions. ICSSPE provides neutral platforms for governments, researchers, international organisations and sport leaders to exchange knowledge, discuss emerging issues and develop collaborative approaches to shared priorities.
Contribute to global agendas
ICSSPE actively contributes to international discussions on the role of sport and physical activity in advancing education, health, inclusion, human rights and sustainable development. Through partnerships with organisations such as UNESCO, the World Health Organization (WHO), the Council of Europe and other international stakeholders, we help ensure that sport remains a recognised driver of positive social change.
Support good governance
Strong organisations build stronger sport systems. ICSSPE promotes principles of transparency, accountability, ethical leadership and good governance, encouraging policies that foster integrity, safeguarding and long-term sustainability across the sport sector.
Facilitate international cooperation
Our global network brings together organisations from every continent, creating opportunities for cross-sector collaboration, policy exchange and collective action. By connecting diverse perspectives, ICSSPE helps address complex challenges that no single organisation or country can solve alone.
