The general goal of this project was to get to know more about the MOTUS software platform, which is a continuous development of the Research Group TOR of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel since 2012. Through this project, it was possible to share insights, knowledge and ideas about this platform and the further development.

After testing and based on the long existing strategy of the application and its shown merits like flexibility, adaptability and the most important one: modularity, the platform and the academic researchers behind the platform are well-suited to conduct diary-based surveys on a national and international level.
