Olympic Games Impact Study (Pre-Games) - London 2012

The Olympic Games Impact Study (OGI) was born from the International Olympic Committee’s
(IOC) desire to develop an objective and scientific analysis of the impact of each edition of the
Games. The study provides a record both of the individual nature of each Olympiad and its host
context, and a database of information that is common to all Olympic Games and Paralympic
Games. By this means the IOC will build up a detailed and tangible information base on the effects
and legacy of each Games.

This study is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) on behalf of
London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG).
