This article aims to discuss the central role of the Brazilian College of Sport Science (CBCE). In order to do so, first of all we present a ransom of prospects fund that built the CBCE, and in a second time, we take notes on four issues related to the environment of the CBCE. Finally, at the fourth argument, I present some opinions on the important communicative possibilities for a scenario like the CBCE, thinking it as a "common ground" for different communities, which are related directly or tangentially to the field of EF.
