A Living Lab at Dundalk Institute of Technology focuses on ageing-in-place, community, environment, and technology. It develops new products and services, raises awareness, and helps define policy to understand long-term what works to improve quality of life, quality of service, and quality of environment for those with intellectual disabilities.
