Research into practice workshop

Facilitated by Helen Bowkett, consultant, Arcadis

How academic research is creating new tools and processes to support modellers and data scientists, and how academics and practioners alike can benefit from achieving closer working and understanding between practitioners and academic modellers

  • gain insight into the latest UK PhD research: hear short presentations from some of best of the UK's current PhD students on their research into areas such as the use of Bluetooth and mobile data for modelling

  • share pathways for practitioners to access academic research

  • let academics know what real-world questions need investigation?

  • raise the impact, influence and relevance of academic research to practitioner modelling community?

  • find out how practitioners help academics in their research – create a channel for a two-way flow of ideas, experience and data for research
