SymposiumThe 5th Symposium of the International Chair in Olympism, held at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland from November 14-16, 2002, was devoted to the legacy of the Olympic Games from 1984 to 2000. The symposium was organized by the Olympic and Sport Studies Center of the Autonomous University of Barcelona and the IOC Olympic Studies Center. 
The Olympic legacy is a very important subject with immense ramifications to the world and the hosting cities. The modern Olympics, in their more than 100-year-old history, offer rich content for social, economic, and political studies. The modern Olympics retain many of the disciplines that the ancient Games enjoyed. It is fortunate that the international community has embraced these noble principles and is dedicated to preserving them in the continuation of the Olympic games. The Symposium, which explored the various aspects of the Olympic legacy, dealt with eight different themes:
