This

are the problems and shortcomings? How could we remove them? How could the
problems be homogenized? What kind of quality should it have? What direction
should it go? Under what quality should it move?
In view of
the above, and in line with formation of academy studies center as well as
design and planning for strategic studies of this center, the following should
be taken into account:
1-Evaluation
of cultural performance in the past in sport as to identify the strength and
weak points
2-Evaluation
of present condition
3-Futurology
and anticipating cultural future for a better recognition of situation
Organization
of this symposium is not only an opportunity to study the present status of Iran
sports history within past recent years, but above that is a kind of critic to
the present condition and creating motivation and required sensibility for the
researchers..
Identifying
the historians and distinguished sports fans and inviting them results in
exchanging views on present qualitative and quantitative status of sports
history.
These
symposiums are devoted to Iran sports history within the context of culture
which is the first step and call for experts and interested individuals in
variety of sports history areas from different aspects namely history, culture,
