AISTS (International Academy of Sports Science and Technology) was founded in 2000 by the International Olympic Committee and EPFL, University of Lausanne, University of Geneva, IMD Business School, Ecole Hôteliere de Lausanne, City of Lausanne and Canton of Vaud. For the past 16 years, over 500 students have graduated from the Sports Management program and have gone on to work in various organisations such as the IOC, Lagardére Sport, FIBA, Nike and the FIH. 

The average student’s age is around 29, with approximately four years of professional experience and a bachelors degree from a recognised university. International level athletes who have participated in world championships are also welcomed onto the program and can apply for a scholarship. In the past, the AISTS course has helped gold medal Olympians and world-class athletes successfully career change into the sports management world. There is also a scholarship available for one female applicant each year.
