PASTA PHYSICAL ACTIVITY THROUGH SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT APPROACHES

Coordinator: UNIVERSITAET FUER BODENKULTUR WIEN (AT)

This project focuses on the systematic promotion and facilitation of active mobility (AM) (i.e. walking and cycling including the combination with public transport use) as an innovative approach to integrate physical activity (PA) into individuals’ everyday lives.

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €5.1M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2013-11-01 to 2017-10-31.
