We are eagerly looking forward to the move.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Founded in Dusseldorf, Germany, on 22 September 1989, the IPC opened its headquarters at Adenauerallee 212-214, on 3 September 1999, opposite Bonn\u2019s Palais Schaumburg, the former first official residence and office of the German Chancellor. Ten years after its formation, a handful of volunteers and two full-time staff members moved into the historic property, which had been donated by the German Government.<\/p>\n<p>Since establishing its roots in the city, the IPC has enjoyed tremendous growth. Its international workforce of more than 100 people is divided between core IPC departments, 10 Para sports for which the IPC acts as international federation and the Agitos Foundation, the world\u2019s leading charity for developing Para sport globally.<\/p>\n<p>The IPC organizes many of the world\u2019s biggest sport events, including the Paralympic Games, a global sporting showcase watched by billions around the world that has firmly established itself as the world\u2019s premiere event for driving social inclusion.<\/p>\n<p>In March 2018, the IPC signed a long-term agreement with the IOC through to 2032 providing financial stability and making it obligatory for any host of the Olympic Games to organize the Paralympics. The agreement also deepens existing co-operation between the two organizations and is helping to raise the visibility of the Paralympic Games and enhance the Paralympic brand.<\/p>\n<p><i>The above press release was posted by Swimming World in conjunction with the International Paralympic-Committee<\/i><i>.
