On 5 November, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and the Japanese Paralympic Committee opened a call for abstracts for the Paralympic Sports Medicine and Science Conference. The event will take place in Tokyo from 5 to 8 September 2027. It will be the 12th edition of the conference and the first to be held in Asia.

The call invites original research, emerging evidence and practical approaches. The scope includes injury prevention, return to sport, mental wellbeing, technology and classification. The organisers also welcome submissions on access barriers and the social and environmental factors that affect participation and performance in Para sport.

The deadline is 23:59 Japan Standard Time on 15 January 2027, which is 16:59 in Bulgaria. The IPC’s scientific and medical research advisory group will assess submissions for scientific merit and relevance to the conference topics. The organisers say authors will receive a decision by 19 March 2027.
