According to the Public Relations of the Federation, this memorandum was signed at the federation’s headquarters between Dr. Kouhpaye Zadeh, President of the Federation, and Dr. Moradi, Vice President for Research and Technology of the University of Tehran, aiming to develop scientific, research, and technological collaboration with a focus on artificial intelligence.
Dr. Kouhpaye Zadeh stated that the memorandum was established to enhance scientific relations with universities and research centers nationwide. He expressed hope that, with the involvement of specialists in cognitive sciences, artificial intelligence, and sports sciences, this collaboration could expand across all educational, research, and academic sectors.
He added that this memorandum will serve as a gateway for all provincial boards to establish similar connections with universities of medical sciences and Islamic Azad University branches in their regions. The federation expects provincial boards to actively pursue these collaborations.
Dr. Ofoghi, Chair of the Federation’s Education Committee, explained that the memorandum aims to leverage the scientific capacities of the University of Tehran and the federation’s executive capabilities. The focus areas include developing specialized research, scientific training for coaches and athletes, and, most importantly, the strategic use of artificial intelligence and modern technologies in performance evaluation, talent identification, and sports decision-making.
He emphasized that artificial intelligence has become an essential tool for analyzing complex sports data, predicting injuries, enhancing athlete performance, and designing intelligent training programs. This memorandum represents the intersection of technological knowledge with the specific needs of disability sports and could serve as a national model linking science and para-sports.
Dr. Ofoghi highlighted key outcomes expected from this cooperation, such as designing intelligent evaluation systems, supporting research projects, producing specialized educational content, and organizing joint scientific events. He described the memorandum as the beginning of a new path for the scientific and technological advancement of disabled and para-athletes’ sports at a global level.
