ANNE's Student Analysis Challenge

Following a successful initial meeting in 2016, in March 2017 we welcomed our network of academic, analysis and research professionals working in North East England to a conference at the NAO office in Newcastle.Since that inaugural meeting we have formalised this group into ANNE, the Analyst Network North East. The network aims to:*Connect people and exchange ideas on analysis and research taking place here in the North East, reaching across the public, private and academic sectors.*Promote learning about other techniques and opportunities from fellow North East analysts and researchers.*Raise the profile of the exciting, innovative and influential analysis and research done here in North East England.Our regular conferences are a great opportunity to join us to discuss analysis and research taking place across the academic, public and private sector in our region.So far, we have hosted conferences at the Core in Newcastle,The Dolphin Centre in Darlington, Urban Sciences Building at Newcastle University and the Durham University Business School, Durham.If you would like to engage with us you can find us on twitter @AnalystNetNE or join the group on LinkedIn ‘Analyst Network North East’.
