The ISU Centers of Excellence (CoE) project has almost completed its Pilot Phase (2020 and 2021), with the involvement of 9 Centers from both Branches. Despite the lingering pandemic, thanks to the close collaboration of all the pilot Centers and ISU Members concerned, the concept of the ISU CoE has been trialled and various pilot projects have been tried and tested, including the production of CoE Guidelines.

The ISU CoE has proven to be a purposeful concept that can be implemented for the further and better development of skating sports worldwide. Based on the experiences of the past two years, the ISU has refined the CoE concept and is launching the application process for the new cycle - the Official Phase of the ISU CoE for the period 2022 to 2026.
