She works on benefits of nature for mental and psychological well-being and sustainable behaviours. Her interest in the COST Writing Urban Places is in crossing disciplinary boundaries to study urban living through subjective narratives and quantitative methods such as mobile electroencephalography.

COST provides networking opportunities for researchers and innovators in order to strengthen Europe’s capacity to address scientific, technological and societal challenges. There are three strategic priorities: promoting and spreading excellence, fostering interdisciplinary research for breakthrough science and empowering and retaining young researchers and innovators.
Writing Urban Places proposes an innovative investigation and implementation of a process for developing human understanding of communities, their society, and their situatedness, by narrative methods. It particularly focuses on the potential of narrative methods for urban development in European medium-sized cities.
