Applications are now open for the annual O-Ringen Academy, which takes place in Jönköping, Sweden in the end of July 2025 in conjunction with the world’s largest orienteering event O-Ringen.
The academy is organised by the Park World Tour Organisation in cooperation with the International Orienteering Federation and O-Ringen, and it provides a unique opportunity for orienteering federations and interested individuals to work on developing the sport in their home countries.
The idea behind O-Ringen Academy is, through the transfer of knowledge and experience, to develop individual competency to be able to promote, organize and teach orienteering and at the same time participate in O-Ringen.
Happy participants at O-Ringen Academy.
O-Ringen Academy is primarily intended for participants from new and developing orienteering countries, where there is a need to quickly learn the skills and routines required to organize orienteering events.
However, participants from more established orienteering nations who want to increase their base of knowledge are also welcome.
Find the bulletin and all the details about applying here – the application deadline for participation is June 10th.
Scholarships
The IOF will provide financial support in the form of scholarships to applicants from developing orienteering countries or countries not yet affiliated with the IOF, enabling their participation in the O-Ringen Academy.
Applications for scholarships for O-Ringen Academy 2025 must be submitted by June 15th.
