For the participants

The field experiment has come to an end. On this page, however, you will find all the information we provided to the participants during the field experiment, such as videos and presentations of the activities, information on the prizes offered, the users’ guides and useful links to effectively join the test.

We decided to entirely keep such materials, in order to keep record of the documentation prepared. Please note that some of the links shown here may not work, as the project is completed and the GoEco! and GoEco! Tracker apps are no longer downloadable from the Android and iOS stores.

Material relating to the third monitoring period

On March, 13 GoEco! restarts with the third monitoring period of six weeks (until April, 30). As in the first monitoring period, we ask you all to use the GoEco! Tracker and the Moves® apps – even if during the second monitoring period you used the full version of the GoEco! app.

As in the previous monitoring periods, also during the third monitoring period we are organizing prizes for all the participants (GoEco! Quiz and Jackpot). Also, we will organize two in-person meetings, one in Ticino and one in Zurich. For all the details, please visit the Italian and English websites.
GoEco! will not end with the third monitoring period: between May and June we will perform qualitative analyses, with a survey for all the participants and individual interviews with some of the participants, randomly selected: they will help us to assess the whole app experience and to identify the factors that favor or prevent a change towards more sustainable mobility styles.
Below you can find all the information you need!
