Proposals that will look at the vast range of definitions of wellbeing, as well as different methodological approaches to the measurement of wellbeing are welcome. This could include debate and comparative study around different understandings and views of 'wellbeing' in addition to investigating different methodologies to utilising data resources to inform the measurement of wellbeing in varying contexts. The successful team will be expected to work closely with the WWCW Hub and any existing research projects.
