APPAct and IMPAQT: From Research to Education

APPAct and IMPAQT University of Limerick are closely connected European initiatives working to strengthen physical activity policy and improve health equity. While IMPAQT focuses on evaluating and benchmarking policies that influence physical activity across Europe, APPAct transforms this knowledge into innovative teaching and training resources for future professionals.
Several universities participate in both projects, creating a strong link between research, policy, and education. Through interdisciplinary learning, APPAct equips students from health, sport, engineering, planning, and social science disciplines with the skills to understand, assess, and improve public policies. Together, APPAct and IMPAQT help ensure that evidence-based policies lead to healthier, more active, and more equitable communities across Europe.
