Background to the GPS-HRN

Who are we?

The Global Positioning Systems in Health Research Network was launched at the 2009 International Society for Behavioural Nutrition and Physical Activity Conference in Cascais.

The aim of the GPS-HRN is to establish a communication forum that will allow GPS researchers to share ideas and experience.

The GPS-HRN admininstration team is based out of AUT University in New Zealand and the University of Lausanne in Switzerland.

Lead Coordinator: Dr Scott Duncan (AUT University)
Asst Coordinator: Dr Hannah Badland (AUT University)
Asst Coordinator: Dr Melody Oliver (AUT University)
Chair: Prof Yves Shutz (University of Lausanne)

The GPS-HRN is currently sponsored by AUT University; however, we will be pursuing further funding for the ongoing maintenance of the network.
