Policy Making Support

The European Commission-funded REPOPA project found practical ways to support policy makers in their use of research evidence in developing physical activity policies. A simulation policy game, locally tailored policy making interventions, indicators to assess policies’ evidence bases, and national internet platforms are all examples of the REPOPA products. REPOPA was not only an academic project; it also developed the findings into usable tools such as indicators for evidence-informed policy making.

Final Symposium of the REPOPA project, Brussels 9 September 2016

Researchers provide recommendations to policymakers to take health issues such as physical activity seriously and integrate it in everyday lives of people. This is more easily said than done! Policymakers juggle with numerous pressures, points of view and resources. Research evidence is not the primary driver of their work.
