The International Hockey Federation (FIH) and the International Academy of Sports Science and Technology (AISTS), both based in Lausanne, Switzerland, have shared various activities in the past. AISTS students have undertaken research projects at FIH and some have become interns; FIH senior staff have contributed to AISTS programmes.
These links will be reinforced with the appointment of former FIH Director General Christophe Troendle to fill the newly created position of Head of Corporate Development at AISTS.
In his new position, Troendle will develop new AISTS partnerships, provide added expertise on AISTS consulting mandates, lecture in the new Executive MBA programme, and lead the marketing and communication operations. 'I am absolutely thrilled to join the AISTS,' stated Troendle, who will commence work at AISTS on 1 September 2010. ‘I see great potential for the growth and development of this organisation, and look forward to contributing my expertise toward this goal.’
