The future of classification and its development across all Para sports was debated by almost a hundred classification experts from around the world at the 2018 International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Classification Meeting.<\/p>\n
The three-day event was held in at the IPC headquarters in Bonn, Germany, with 54 representatives from International Federations (IFs) and 32 from National Paralympic Committees (NPCs), as well as the IPC\u2019s Classification Committee members.<\/p>\n
The meeting provided an opportunity for the participants to exchange knowledge and experience on best practices, and to ponder the long-term future of classification. It also gave IFs and NPCs the opportunity to discuss the IPC Athlete Classification Code Compliance.<\/p>\n
The IPC Classification Committee also met separately to plan the next steps for furthering the development and harmonisation of classification across Para sports.<\/p>\n
