The International Academy of Sport Science and Technology (AISTS), as a foundation is governed by two committees to which it reports to and by which it is controlled. The committees ensure AISTS’ activity is in line with its mission and representative of the founding members’ visions. The committees are the AISTS Foundation Council and the AISTS Executive Committee. In addition, AISTS relies on the Scientific Committee for its education programes and on an Advisory Group of Experts for the development of its strategic projects.
