Para-Limits project
The Para-Limits project aims to enable high-level sportsmen and women with any kind of disability to successfully complete their sports and university careers without undermining one over the other. The name Para-Limits refers to those high-level athletes, Paralympics included, who seek to break down barriers and display their talent without limits.
The overall aim of Para-Limits is to contribute to the existing EU policies on social inclusion through the promotion of Dual Career for high level athletes with disabilities. The goal is to design a comprehensive solution that can be implemented with low cost and effort in different member countries of the European Union in order to achieve the effective integration of this population group and to eliminate the barriers that prevent them from developing a successful university and sports career.
Co-financed by the EU
Para-Limits, which is co-financed by the EU under the Erasmus+Sport Programme, aims to implement the Dual Career adapted to the needs of disabled athletes through the development of a European-wide strategic partnership between universities and institutions to achieve the strengthening of social inclusion through sport and higher education.
The project is divided into the following 6 Intellectual Outputs (O). The O1 and O2 correspond to the research activities of the state of the art, which aim at detecting obstacles, needs and barriers of this group in their sports and academic careers, according to their degree of disability and personal background.
