Sport is more than competition.
Sport is one of the world's most visible social systems. It connects physical and mental health, education, identity, economics, technology, international relations and community life. From children's participation in sport to elite competition, sporting activity can influence how societies understand discipline, cooperation, achievement and fair play.
A multidisciplinary sport perspective
TEDRIC studies sport through scientific, social, economic, cultural, technological and institutional perspectives. The objective is not simply to measure performance, but to understand the wider systems surrounding sport and human development.
