Method

Innovation in the fields of nutrition and sport plays a central role in Eat2Move. The projects of Eat2Move are carried out according to a method called 3Vcyclus.

The 3Vcyclus combines investigation, testing and implementation in practice. The cyclus has several steps: Exploratory research (‘Verkennen’ in Dutch), testing in experimental settings (Validate), disseminating knowledge and develop products and services and making these applicable (Valorise). The cycle cuts through the different substantive issues of Eat2Move. This method offers the possibility to identify new needs in the fields of sports and care and to turn these into a new project.
