THE SWEDISH WINTER SPORTS RESEARCH CENTRE
The idea of building a skills cluster for elite sports in Jämtland-Härjedalen arose in the 1990s, from the idea of being able to offer elite athletes at the region’s “ski university” further support in the form of a range of supporting functions or activities. In this context, these activities came to be seen as an interesting opportunity and as providing conditions for regional development, not least via various international sports events that came to be held in Jämtland-Härjedalen.
