Dr Gillian Brown

The SECURE network (Statistics of Environmental Change, Resources and Ecosystems) “Grand Challenge”  1 day event will be held at the IET Glasgow Teacher Building in GLasgow. Attendees will explore real challenges posed by some of SECURE’s partner organisations with a view to developing bids for feasibility project support.
The event is designed to bring together researchers working in relevant areas of the mathematical and environmental sciences with end-users of environmental research to develop ideas to tackle the challenges.  To allow for the ideas developed on the day to be progressed SECURE will provide feasibility funding linked to the challenges.
Format: The 1 day event will open with the presentation of the proposed challenges.  Attendees will then select a challenge based on their interests, and the resulting group will include at least one individual from the partner proposing the challenge. The attendees will work in these groups for the rest of the day to develop a plan detailing how to practically address the challenges.    At the end of the day, there will be a presentation on the discussion from each challenge area group and the SECURE network will produce a short report summarising the discussions.  The groups will then have an opportunity to prepare a feasibility project around the challenge) to be submitted by 23rd June.  Funding for up to five Feasibility Projects (at 15K per project) will be available. 
Timings: Coffee and Registration will be from 9.30am in the Laphroaig Lounge on the first floor.  The day will finish at 4.45pm
