The CEIO-UEM promotes the Olympic values of effort, friendship, peace, solidarity and fair play, as well as the educational mission of sport and respect for human rights.
The Olympic Studies and Research Centre is coordinated by the Sport, Society and Olympic Games research group, which brings together researchers in social sciences and humanities from the Faculty of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences. Since 2022 the centre is directed by Dr. Carlos García, principal investigator of the group.
In addition, the CEIO-UEM is part of the network of Spanish CEIOs coordinated by the Spanish Olympic Academy chaired by Mr. Raúl Chapado.

Social commitment
The Centre wants its scientific and educational activities to be of social benefit, collaborating in the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically access to health and wellbeing through sport (SDG 3), gender equality in sport (SDG 5) and the development of sustainable cities and communities through sport (SDG 11). It also offers its experience and knowledge to society to collaborate in projects that contribute to these goals.
