In 2014 and 2015 The Centre for Ageing Research and Development in Ireland funded nine post-doctoral Fellows in a £2 million investment to develop future leaders in research on ageing and older people.
The CARDI and CARDI-Beeson Fellows will carry out research over the next three years into ageing issues with the aim of improving the lives of older people across the island of Ireland.
Communication is a vital part throughout the research process and increasingly researchers are expected to broadly disseminate their findings to a general public. One way of doing this is working with the media. On Wednesday 2 September 2015 CARDI hosted a media training day for its Ageing Research Leadership Fellows.
This report, a collaboration between the International Longevity Centre-UK, the Institution of Engineering and Technology and the University of Cambridge’s Engineering Design Centre, highlights the vital role of good design, technology and innovation in planning for ageing populations.
