and positive emotions to remain meaningful.
Major events will take place in 2021. From these, we will learn how to cope with

heavy constraints. positive outlook, I am convinced that your 2021 academic year will be amazingly
interesting and beneficial.
If one considers that the current COVID-19 crisis will continue to have its
negative effects, if one assumes that this is not the last pandemic that society Christophe Dubi, Olympic Games Executive Director
and sport will face, the first duty is to learn from this important year about what International Olympic Committee
works, what has changed for the better and what is within the scope to improve
in the future. Observing, studying and learning to develop best practices is what
all of you should think about.
Looking past the crisis, sport must remain relevant to future generations:
Millennials and Gen Z. Sport must do what other industries are looking into: how
to cope with generational changes, adapting our products and activities while
preserving our history and core values. Thinking about the format of a sport, the
characteristics of an event for the new generation of fans who seek interaction,
a personal return for being engaged with a span of attention that shifts rapidly
from one centre of interest to another. This is a challenge, certainly, but a
formidable opportunity as well.
We live in times of exponential growth in digitalisation. From augmented
reality, active virtual sports to multi-screen experiences, the potential for sport
to capitalise on these resources is endless. Keeping yourselves interested in
the development and adoption of new digital assets by sports organisations
is a must. I am personally very impressed by the creativity of some sports
organisations in maintaining the link and interactions with fans amid the current
social restrictions.
At the same time, looking at the other side of the technology coin, there are the
necessary developments to protect sports organisations and consumers: robust
cybersecurity, ambitious and compliant data acquisition and management,
and sound digital architecture. These are only a few examples of what will be
expected from all of us.

FROM THE FIELD FERNANDO LIMA 2020 has been a challenging year for the world of sport and yet the FIVB has been innovating the way to deliver volleyball and engage fans. We were able to keep a continuous flow of content being delivered to our fans, and we have rebranded all our digital platforms under the Volleyball World umbrella. We are maintaining the FIVB acronym for corporate purposes but Volleyball World will more and more be promoted as our “face” to interact with fans all across our social media channels and website, which by the way we will relaunch in 2021. We have also been working on how to communicate and promote the value of volleyball in this ever-changing world and on a strategy to go beyond sport industry. We are thrilled to start the collaboration with WPP’s Ogilvy Social. Lab as our lead strategic and creative agency and the amazing digital and social agency Fifty Digital to further explore the global potential of our sport. Volleyball has been known for its family and community spirit, non-violent character and its nature of diversity and inclusion. These are the values that we need most in the turbulent times as we live today. In the year of 2020, the FIVB was awarded by GAISF for its sustainability efforts, welcomed two first female Continental Confederation Presidents and we are committed to contribute further to the world community through our sport and its core values. It is therefore important for us to continue our engagement with AISTS to exchange views on the evolution of society and technology and involve the students in our projects to reflect latest business intelligence trends with their creative and innovative mind. I recently had the honour of lecturing at AISTS and was inspired by the discussion with the students. I truly appreciate the knowledge and experience of the AISTS Master of Advanced Studies in Sport Administration and Technology participants and alumni, and we often hire graduates as interns or full-time employees. The FIVB looks forward to continuing our partnership with the AISTS and its alumni and wishes the current students all the best in their endeavours.
