Professor Bauman is a world-leading public health researcher who has for over 30 years studied chronic disease prevention and the development and assessment of prevention research methods. He is a committed advocate for research translation into practice to achieve population-wide impact and health equity. His research has demonstrated the need for cross-sectoral involvement from areas outside of health in physical activity promotion programs, including diverse sectors such as sport, transport and urban planning to achieve better outcomes. Professor Bauman also builds innovative research-policy linkages and conducts policy-relevant research.

In this workshop, we will explore the 10 guiding principles, developed by our regional FusePAW network to support transferable knowledge exchange activities and help implementation of national Physical Activity policy in local contexts.
