Goals

Mid-term Targets

We will continue to improve the services provided by the IPC Documentation Centre by complying with international standards. For instance, we plan to enhance the quality, size and accessibility of our fledgling IPC Library within the possibilities of our limited financial resources. The database will be further populated with the goal to eventually go online, thus enabling users worldwide to make database queries via the World Wide Web.

Currently, we are also working on a re-design of the exhibition of Paralympic memorabilia in the entrance area of IPC Headquarters. The aim is to illustrate the development of the IPC and the Paralympic Movement.

We will also enhance existing contacts and endeavour to establish co-operations with universities, sports documentation and information centres and museums all over the world.

Long-term Goal

The Paralympic Heritage Centre and Museum

In the long run the IPC aspires to establish a unique structure to house Paralympic records and publications and to exhibit Paralympic memorabilia. The building could be a multi-service facility with an exhibition area, a library and archives as well as rentable meeting facilities and offices. It would be open to the public and serve both entertainment, educational and research purposes.
