The European Olympic Academies (EOA) approved the admission of four new OA to their circle and confirmed new procedures for the commissions. They also deliberated on the autonomy and intervention of the Olympic movement, the validity of arbitration agreements, and collaboration for sustainable development.

The decision was taken by the Board of the European Olympic Academies (EOA) at the EOA Congress in Vilnius, Lithuania. The event, organised by the Lithuanian Olympic Academy (LOA), was attended by delegates from 22 European Olympic Academies, as well as representatives from the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the International Olympic Academy (IOA) and the European Olympic Committees (EOC).
