Who we are

ReFORM is the French-speaking Olympic Network for Research in Sports Medicine. Recognized by the IOC since December 2018, it brings together five institutions: INSEP (Paris), LIROMS (Luxembourg), INS Québec (Montreal), SportS² (Liège), and HUG (Geneva).

Our mission

To enhance knowledge, professional development, and clinical applications of injury prevention within the French-speaking community, in order to improve athletes’ health and well-being.

We also work to translate research findings into practical tools, training programs, and concrete actions in the field.
