About Us
We’re a group of Interdisciplinary Scientists from University College Cork.

Our Project



We're a Science Foundation of Ireland Discover Project in the department of Applied Psychology and the Environmental Research institute in UCC. We want to train and engage with older adults on the themes of nature, technology and wellbeing, against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic.
