The afternoon will be orientated towards academics/researchers who are working with a variety of new forms of data (location, image, social media, transactions etc) in a transport/mobility context. The workshop will be stocktaking on recent research, identifying research needs and also looking at new approaches to modelling/analysis that arise from new data forms.
The goal is to produce a position paper, co-authored by active contributors and this will also be an opportunity to explore partnering for a possible future funding bid. Bruce Jackson (Data & Infrastructure Senior Policy Manager ESRC) will attend, giving an overview of the landscape from the ESRC perspective by way of introduction. Alongside this, confirmed speakers include leading academics from the following universities: Exeter, Aberdeen, Warwick, UWE, Loughborough, UCL, Greenwich, Glasgow and Leeds.
This event is organised by the Alan Turing Institute funded project, KARMA. There is some limited funding to help with travel and overnight accommodation if needed. Funds will be prioritised according to the type of data colleagues are working with and so that a variety of new data can be discussed in the meeting.
