The ESRC Business and Local Government Data Research Centre are delighted to invite delegates from across the region to join us for an afternoon canapé reception to celebrate the work we have completed with stakeholders and to share these opportunities with new partners.

This high profile reception is a unique chance for regional leaders from across the worlds of business, public and voluntary sector to find out more about the Centre's grant funded research and data analytics projects as well as the training we provide.

We will be joined by partners who have already received free grant-funded training, research and consultations through our Data Analytics Innovation Voucher programme as well as new partners and stakeholders who are yet to take advantage of the grant funded services we provide.

The reception will be hosted at the Wivenhoe House Hotel on the University of Essex's main campus.

With selected free tickets, meet with renowned experts, industry leaders and Centre staff for a networking session like no other.

We are pleased to announce keynote speaker Professor Maria Fasli, Director and research lead on the Methodology research stream.
