The event will further cement the partnership between EPC and the Commission following the recent announcement of EC financial support for the day-to-day running of the committee. Focusing on the achievements and testimonies of European Paralympic athletes, invitations to the reception will be extended to EPC members – 47 National Paralympic Committees, 4 IOSDs and the IWBF - ambassadors to China from European countries, European government representatives attending the games and, of course, European Paralympic athletes.

EPC is currently liaising with the Commission on the final arrangements for the event and invitations are scheduled to be sent out in the near future.
