T H E F I S D E V E L O P M E N T P r o g r a m m e The FIS Aid & Promotion Programme for Developing Ski Nations was established following the decision by the 1996 FIS Congress in Christchurch (NZE) that the election of FIS World Championships Organisers would be delegated to the FIS Council and that each Candidate would pay a registration fee that would be used for the development of skiing. The programme then got underway in 1997/98, funded by the World Championship Candidates fees.

More than 15 years later, at its Meetings during the FIS Congress 2012 in Kangwonland (KOR), the Council decided to connect the Programme with FIS Solidarity Support so that there is a better coordination between these two areas and to avoid the overlapping of activities. A Council working group was appointed to undertake this project, and the programme encompassing both of these components has been re-named the FIS Development Programme (FDP).

The scope of the programme is designed to improve developing ski nations’ own knowledge and competencies, and two experts from the FIS Development Programme member National Ski Associations; Milan Bozic and Freddy Keirouz were appointed by the Council to serve as advisors in the working group. Professional support for the organisation of the activities is handled through the FIS Office and by the appointed experts arranging the training camps and other activities.

Who is a FIS Development Member? Only a full FIS Member National Ski Associations can be members of the FIS DevelopmentProgramme. Associate and provisional members of FIS are not eligible for FIS Development Programme Membership. All FIS Member National Ski Associations with one vote are automatically member of the FIS Development Programme. FIS Development Programme Members will be updated at each International Ski Congress in view of the above membership criteria.

The philosophy for support from FIS

Solidarity is to contribute towards

assisting special projects or activities

that are not part of the regular day-to-

day work of a National Ski Association

and for which the applicant has shown

initiative and efforts in obtaining support

from other sources. The FIS Solidarity

programme is designed to assist active

National Ski Associations with the

development of the sport in their country.

Support is specifically targeted at those

Member Associations who do not profit

from the income generated through rights

for the organisation of World Cup races

fa c t s & f i g u r e s

or through sponsorship for their National Ski Teams. Additionally contributions to projects from National Ski Associations which serve

the development of the sport as a whole will be considered.
