600 delegates from across the globe are expected to attend an international conference in Kerry this summer.
Munster Technological University (MTU) Kerry will host two major symposia within the conference (ISAPA 2025): the International Symposium of Adapted Physical Activity and the International Symposium on Physical Activity and Visual Impairment or Deafblindness.
MTU Kerry is a world leader in Adapted Physical Activity (APA).
