Mid-project workshop

A mid-project workshop was held on Wednesday 18 March 2015 at the University of Warwick.

There were over 40 attendees, including our guest presenters Dr Jean Lacoursière, Dr Mick Whelan, Dr James Shucksmith, Dr Scott Arthur and Dr Ramesh Ponnambalam. Unfortunately, Dr Andrea Bottacin-Busolin was unable to attend.

Final workshop

An end of project workshop was held on 6 July 2016 to present research findings at the University of Warwick.

The workshop was well attended and our guest presenters, Matthew O'Hare, Anders Wörman, Thorsten Stoesser, Andy Bailey, and Ellen Bedford stimulated interesting discussion. Unfortunately David Naismith was unable to present as planned.
