The Federal Council's Concept for Swiss Sports Policy (in German)
The Swiss Observatory for Sport and Physical Activity has been founded in 2002. Its inception was based on a suggestion made in the "Concept of the Federal Council for Swiss Sports Policy" of November 2000:
"The Federal Council wishes to be informed periodically on developments in the area of sport. Positive as well as negative developments shall be detected by a yet to define 'Observatory'. Undesirable developments and grievances will have to be eliminated in co-operation with other partners in Swiss sport."
The Observatory is funded and co-ordinated by the Federal Office for Sport (FOSPO) and operated by Lamprecht und Stamm Sozialforschung und Beratung AG. In addition, the Observatory co-operates closely with a number of partner organisations and research groups.
Further information on the research focus and contents of the observatory can be found under "General Information".
