AET - Analysing emerging themes in the 'new' environment

The AET project addresses Theme "F " of the NPA COVID 19 response call - Emerging Themes. The project full title is: "Analysing emerging themes in the 'new' environment of living with COVID-19, through the twin lenses of care homes and university campuses". This surge of the spread of COVID-19 primarily amoung young people in recent weeks all over Europe has become a worrying emerging theme. Others include: unemployment, digital and broadband "poverty" as well as a trend to inreased alcohol consumption, larger unsafe social gatherings and a fear of using public transport. The AET project will examine and describe these and other emerging themes through the twin lenses of the experiences of care home staff, university staff and students and how that may be generalised to society as a whole through an analysis of the NPA Covid-19 themes of clinical aspects, health and wellbeing, technology solutions, citizen engagement/community response and economic impacts.
