Hello! Does anyone know of any international research group focused on active aging, physical activity, and public health, that allows remote (online) participation? I'm looking to join collaborative networks or research teams that promote discussions, studies, or projects in this field. I’d greatly appreciate any suggestions!
International Research Groups on Active Aging & Physical Activity
You might want to explore the HEPA Europe Working Group on Active Ageing. It’s part of the WHO’s European network for health-enhancing physical activity and includes researchers from institutions like the University of Jyväskylä and the National Public Health Institute of Slovenia. They focus on:
- Promoting physical activity among older adults
- Addressing social, spatial, and financial barriers
- Sharing interventions and research through online platforms and events
You can learn more about their work and participation opportunities on HEPA Europe’s official page at https://www.who.int/europe/groups/hepa-europe-%28european-network-for-the-promotion-of-health-enhancing-physical-activity%29/hepa-europe-events-and-working-groups/active-ageing--physical-activity-promotion-in-elderly
Takele Gezahegn Demie Thank you very much for your kind and informative message. The HEPA Europe Working Group on Active Ageing is indeed a valuable reference, and I truly appreciate you pointing me toward this network and its ongoing initiatives. I will explore the resources and opportunities for engagement on the WHO page you shared.
Best regards,
