Administration of the International Olympic Academy - EPHORIA

The organization and operation of the IOA are supervised by a Committee known as the Ephoria.

The Ephoria is a board of trustees elected by the Hellenic Olympic Committee for a four year period.

The HOC has the control and responsibility for the overall organisation of the IOA which is also under the auspices of the IOC.

The Ephoria is made up of the ex-officio IOC members in Greece, at least four representatives of the HOC and at the most three personalities who have distinguished themselves in promoting the Olympic Movement.

A special IOC Commission was created in 1967 to link the IOA to the IOC, to Olympic Solidarity and the Olympic Movement in general.

This commission is named the «IOC Commission for the International Olympic Academy and Olympic Education». The members of this commission are elected by the IOC General Assembly. From 1980 the commission includes one representative from the National Olympic Committees, one from the International Sports Federations, and one from the IOC's athletes' Commission. The proceedings of the IOA Sessions are chaired by the President and the Dean of the International Olympic Academy.
