Ministry of the Interior with professional advice in fulfilling its sport-related tasks. To meet these
demands, the BISp maintains the databases
SPOLIT (database of references), SPOFOR (research database), SPOMEDIA (audio-visual
media), the scholarly information guide to sports
(quality-proven sport scientific internet resources), and a
sport psychological information and contact
