Promoting increased participation in physical activity (PA) through sport, exercise and active recreation is one of the main objectives of the WHO Global Action Plan on Physical Activity 2018-2030 (GAPPA). Within this scope, in 2021 the European Sports Industry Association (Europe Active) established a European Active Research Centre and launched the THINKActive consortium.
The technical unit on physical activity (HEP/HPR/RUN) has been approved to be an observer member of the THINKActive consortium. RUN agreed to support the work of the consortium by convening the second in-person meeting of the group in April 2023.
