UE Dubai and the Asian Paralympic Committee strengthen cooperation in education and inclusion in Para sport
The University of Europe for Applied Sciences in Dubai and the Asian Paralympic Committee (APC) have entered into a strategic partnership to promote education, inclusion, and knowledge exchange in Para sport. The Memorandum of Understanding was signed virtually by APC President Majid Rashed and UE President Prof. Dr. Maurits van Rooijen.
The collaboration will focus on education programmes, seminars, certification courses, internships, as well as joint research and exchange initiatives. The partnership aims to strengthen National Paralympic Committees across Asia through education and capacity building.
Prof. Dr. Maurits van Rooijen highlighted the close connection between sport and education: “We need to stop putting education and sport into separate boxes. In reality, they are inseparably linked. Sport fosters skills such as leadership, resilience, and teamwork, while education provides the foundation for sustainable success.”
The partnership is also expected to further expand the APC Academy’s international reach and enhance its educational portfolio.
