The work started by collecting the products and reports from WPs 1 - 3.

2. Using a 2-round internet-based Delphi process (concluded in June 2015) plus a third phase, a face to face event consisting in national conferences (to be developed), the products of WP1-3 were tested for acceptance, feasibility and improvements among the consortium, with the stakeholders from different sectors (including national and EU politicians) relevant for policy making for physical activity promotion;
3. The validated resources were formulated into recommendations for best practice in cross-sectoral evidence into policy making in the field of physical activity; into descriptions of competence required; web-resources and other tools to be disseminated via WP6 and via international network.
