The Active Living Laboratory strives to create a healthier and more sustainable future through:
- Establishing multi-disciplinary and cross-sector collaborations,
- The delivery of community-centred research studies,
- Sharing scientific findings with decision makers, local organisations and the wider community and
- Developing leading policy recommendation documents and publications.
Our laboratory offers a vibrant research environment and opportunity to be involved in multidisciplinary research projects.
Our research areas include Physical Activity, Public Health, Built Environment, Transportation and Sustainability.
In 2021, we are collecting data for the BEATS-2 Study in Dunedin secondary schools (funded Health Research Council Project Grant (#19/173); $1,197,487).
