The 25th International Symposium of Adapted Physical Activity will be held in Kerry, Ireland on the 16th-20th June 2025. This global event will be hosted at MTU’s Kerry Sports Academy in Tralee, with additional venues throughout the town featuring a diverse lineup of workshops, panel discussions, and engaging social events.

ISAPA’s 2025 theme seeks to bridge the gap between policy, practice, and research in adapted physical activity. With a focus on Sustainable Development and human rights, the symposium will explore how these essential frameworks shape international policy in sport, physical activity, and physical education.

Join thought leaders, researchers, and practitioners worldwide for a week of collaboration, inspiration, and innovation in APA.

Call for abstracts:

ISAPA 2025 is accepting the following types of abstracts:

  • Scientific oral presentations: A scientific presentation aims to highlight the key findings of your research. These presentations will be delivered orally, with optional slides.

  • Panel Discussions: Panel discussions offer an interactive format to explore a topic in-depth, bringing together multiple experts to discuss various perspectives
