The European Cyclists’ Federation provides two identical training webinars on WHO HEAT (Health Economic Assessment Tool) with a focus on cycling.

Dates #1 November 5th at 13.00 CET #2 November 10th at 12.00 CET.

*Duration: 35 min presentation plus 15 min Q & A.

The goal of the webinars is to present this online resource which calculates the economic value of health benefits gained through regular cycling. Specifically, HEAT translates reduced mortality rates, as a result of more cycling and walking, into financial benefits.

Who should participate? Cycling advocates, scientists, local or national officials and anyone else who wants to build the case for new investments in cycling are invited to participate.

Why join? Successful advocacy relies on being able to provide numbers and solid data. With the results obtained through HEAT, you can make the case for more convincing cost-benefit analyses and health impact assessments that show cycling investment makes sense.

The webinar will be hosted by Dr. Randy Rzewnicki, our ECF policy expert with extensive experience in policy approaches to the promotion of physical activity.Over 600 people have participated in the trainings so far and HEAT has been used over 23,000 times since its launch in 2011.
