The Portuguese Institute of Sport and Youth, I.P. (IPDJ) has the mission of implementing an integrated and decentralised policy for the areas of sport and youth, in close collaboration with public and private entities, namely sports bodies, youth and student associations and local authorities.
The IPDJ is involved in defining, implementing and evaluating public sports policy, promoting the generalisation of sport, as well as support for regular and high-performance sport, by providing technical, human and financial resources. The preservation of ethics in sport is also one of the IPDJ's essential scopes.
Likewise, the IPDJ aims to boost support for associations, volunteering and the promotion of citizenship, leisure activities, non-formal education, information and the geographical mobility of young people in Portugal and abroad.
