GB-Swindon: UKRI-2142 UKRI Contemporary Issues of Environmental Science Public Dialogue

The project will bring together a relevant cross-section of the UK public (ensuring good geographical spread across a range of UK regions giving a breadth of national coverage), members of the environmental science research and stakeholder community (including researchers), and NERC staff who are responsible for designing and commissioning strategy, policy, and programmes. These three groups will come together in conversation around contemporary issues of environmental science relevant to peoples' daily lives and decision making. The dialogue must be designed to deliver at the relevant scale to which the budget allows. By working together in innovative ways, the three categories of participants identified by NERC, will explore, and unearth where public opinion and involvement can have most impact in shaping environmental science research agendas.
