Tailored drop-in sessions for industrial stakeholders
On Tuesday 22 and Wednesday 23 March, our researchers will be available for you to book a slot to discuss any topic you would find useful. To help you identify the right researcher to speak to, please take a look at their areas of expertise, listed below along with their availability over the two days.
To book time with a researcher, please use the email link below their name letting us know the slot you want. It would be helpful if you could send details of your questions and discussion topics in the email as well.
We’ll then send you a link for the meeting, which will be held via Microsoft Teams. Slots will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
