United Kingdom Sports Institute (UKSI)
The UKSI helps the country's top sportsmen and women to win medals in major tournaments like the Olympics and the World Athletics Championships. It provides much needed world class facilities and a higher standard of co-ordinated support services than the UK has ever had before.
The Institute is made up of four Home Country Sports Institutes in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and supported by the Performance Directorate of UK Sport on areas such as coaching, sports science, technology and innovation. Developments in these areas will be integrated into the Institute network as the benefits which improve athletes' performance are identified.
The vast majority of services and facilities across the UKSI network will be operational by the end of 2003.
