TEAM News, Events & Blog

This is a short overview of my project and what I am currently up to. In later blog posts, I would like to expand how I ended up in this project, what day to day work is like, and where I think things are currently leading. However, this entry only serves as a short primer.  

During this secondment I will continue my work on user studies in the context of games for mental health and engage in collaborative work with other TEAM researchers in London.

My first 6 months in TEAM have been thoroughly engaging and enjoyable. This brief blog is to illustrate how I am progressing. My project is examining the effectiveness of computerised cognitive behavioural therapy (cCBT). 

TEAM ITN researchers Claudette Pretorius, Darragh McCashin and Gianluigi Riva raised money for Pieta House by running a 5.5km 'Runamuck' mud-run in Nass, Co. Kildare on Saturday the 10th of March 2018. 

A fully-funded PhD position is available in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Compute) as part of the Horizon 2020 TEAM (Technology EnAbled Mental health for young people) European Training Network (ETN).

TEAM ITN researcher Claudette Pretorius based at University College Dublin would like to hear from young people and your experience of looking for mental health information online.  Claudette's survey is interested in learning how young people look for help for personal and emotional concerns online.

The Marie Curie Annual Conference and General Assembly will take place at the KU Leuven, Belgium, on the 2nd and 3rd February 2018. This is a great chance to connect with a group of researcher in similar fields and across different disciplines.  

Months ago (I will not tell you how many), I was asked to write a blog post. I had very mixed feelings about this - actually, I was terrified.

SCI:COM 2017 takes place on the 7th December in the Ballsbridge Hotel, Dublin, Ireland.  SCI:COM returns for another year to welcome a wide community involved in communicating research to share ideas, get inspired and meet new collaborators.

The future of healthcare is here!
