Activities
In order to ensure the continuity of P&O professionals and workshops, the organisation pays attention by means of investigation to unsatisfactory developments in the branche. Interbor achieves this through inquiries in the fields of Social-Economics, Education and Information.
The results of those inquiries, i.e. statistics and its yearly
updates, are disseminated to the members. Very often these
statistics and updates are of great importance and help to the
national P&O member associations for their discussions with
national stakeholders (governmental authorities, public- and
private insurance companies, national associations for disabled
people, etc.).
Social economic issues regard the investigation
and comparison of social legislature in the EC Member States but
also between countries of other continents. In addition, a yearly
economical update is disseminated to the members, such as the
development and evaluation of price calculations. Hereby is the
quality of P&O devices always a main concern to us.

Besides the investigation and comparison of the level, content and curriculum of P&O education & (further-) training, the commission "Education" is also a transfer site to national member associations to ensure and/or to obtain educational guidelines as agreed in the Joint Education Committee between ISPO and INTERBOR.

Information is a key tool for us to keep our members up-to-date
and to promote our view points to related P&O agencies or
supranational policy makers such as the EC, NAFTA
and ASEAN. In order to be able to react as quick as possible we
mostly use electronic ways of communication (Internet, E-mail,
web-site, etc.).
The organisation is heavily involved in non- and less
industrialised countries (Africa, East European countries,
South-America, etc.). A special programme has been developed by
INTERBOR to ensure the continuity of P&O appliances in those
countries. The programme is called "PEDECO" and
embraces the collaboration of P&O professionals from
industrialised countries with individuals and institutes from non-
or less industrialised countries.

INTERBOR has a professional executive office in
Belgium. The INTERBOR office is THE KEY for communication between
our members and the organisation. Besides the normal daily
organisational administration the office is an encyclopaedia for
questions or problems. If at all possible the office will give an
immediate answer but in more complicated issues it will be
presented to the concerning commission and/or Board.
Furthermore it acts for the members as a monitoring and lobbying
institute towards supra national agencies.
