About cies
research
The research conducted by CIES examines sport from multiple angles, with an emphasis on Law, Sociology, Geography, History and Economics. The projects undertaken by CIES are part of both pure and applied research.
CIES' research activity is mainly manifested through its publications and the conferences it organises and in which its collaborators actively participate.
Moreover, the activities of the CIES Football Observatory and the CIES Sports Intelligence have increased our visibility and recognition around the world.
The dedicated CIES research team has gained an international reputation for producing and publishing high quality academic work. It also delivers on-demand research projects for sports organisations and has an extensive international network that allows CIES to call on experts and academics from other fields when needed.
