In the meeting the Annual Report of the activities carried out throughout 2016, the execution of the budget for that year and the proposal of activities to be carried out in 2017 will be presented.

During 2016, the CDPDAUV has developed an activity related to its foundational aims, particularly focused on helping athletes, training and outreach. A programme including training, cultural and university extension activities aimed at knowledge, dissemination, motivation and educational cooperation in the context of adapted sport and the organization of conferences and sessions on technical and technological dissemination.

Moreover, the Chair will give grants to students of the Universitat de València, confirming its strong commitment to the promotion and development of sport in its competitive and recreational aspects, removing barriers and promoting a better compatibility between studies and sports.

Likewise, the CDPDAUV 2015-16 Awards for the best Master’s degree and Doctorate final project which dealt with issues related to Adapted Sports in any area of knowledge of the Universitat de València, held its second edition in which first prize was awarded to Ana María Ferri Caruana for her presentation of the Doctoral Thesis “Determination of physical activity levels in paraplegic wheelchair users”.

In total, 456 people participated in the activities of the CDPDAUV during 2016, a success of participation that the representatives of the Chair expect to equal or surpass in 2017.
