The III Congress of the Chilean Society of Adapted Physical Activity (SOCHIAFA) will take place on March 20–21, 2026, at the Universidad Viña del Mar, in Viña del Mar, Chile. This biennial event brings together academics, professionals, researchers, educators, students, and organizations dedicated to promoting inclusion through adapted physical activity and sport.
Organized in collaboration with the Universidad Viña del Mar, the congress will feature keynote lectures, workshops, oral communications, and poster sessions, all aimed at advancing scientific knowledge and applied practices in the field.
