A warm welcome to the new website of the EUropean Network for Action on Ageing and Physical Activity (EUNAAPA)!

My name is Marijke Hopman-Rock and I am the founding chair of EUNAAPA.

In this network people from the academic settings as well as practitioners and policy makers take part. The initial network was founded in 2005 (initiative from Lis Puggaard, Ellen Freiberger and myself) and it is strongly based on friendship and collegiality. From 2006 to 2008 the network grew stronger while carrying out the EUNAAPA project for EU DG Sanco. This project was lead by our network partners from Germany (prof. Alfred Ruetten and colleagues). In January 2009 partners will continue collaboration in the PASEO project, also funded by EU DG Sanco (Public Health programme). read more
