The second edition of the ISAPA 2025 newsletter provides a comprehensive update on the preparations and highlights of the upcoming International Symposium of Adapted Physical Activity (ISAPA), to be held at Munster Technological University (MTU), Kerry, Ireland, in June 2025.

The event will convene researchers, practitioners, students, advocates, and industry partners from around the world to engage in discussions and share knowledge on inclusive physical activity. One of the key features of this edition is the announcement of a UNESCO International Consultation, providing a rare opportunity for stakeholders to contribute to the development of new global standards on disability inclusion.

Preparations at MTU Kerry are progressing steadily, with a strong commitment to ensuring that the campus is fully accessible and inclusive. Significant accessibility enhancements are underway to create a welcoming environment for all attendees.

The conference will also feature the participation of Ukraine’s Superhumans Center, supported by the INGENIUM University Alliance. Their presentation, titled “Experience of Superhumans Center in Rehabilitation and Prosthetics for Patients with Limb Amputations Due to Combat Injuries,” will take place at 5 PM on Monday, June 16th, in Plenary Room 1.

Additionally, the Mental Health Symposium, scheduled for June 19th, will focus on innovation in mental health care and its integration into physical activity programming. This initiative aligns with Ireland’s national mental health strategy, ‘Sharing the Vision.’

ISAPA 2025 promotes cultural diversity and community engagement. Attendees of the Gala Dinner are encouraged to wear national or traditional attire to honor the international spirit of the symposium.

Delegates are also invited to complete a brief attendee survey to support the planning team in understanding participant profiles and preferences. Registration for ISAPA 2025 remains open, and interested participants are encouraged to secure their place early.
