The applications of this theme are broad and span across ageing, physical, mental and emotional states. Its breadth and depth offer plenty of scope for investigation.
This theme covers a wide range of areas and is structured under three main subthemes, Creative, Community and Digital, to preserve the breadth of the theme whilst giving order to the interdisciplinary mix and emphasising research strengths across the institution.
Research within as well as across sub-themes will facilitate creation of larger multidisciplinary teams that can more effectively address the complex challenges that align with this theme.
This project will capture the breadth and depth of arts, health and wellbeing research across ARU, and foster new collaborations in this area.
