Introduction
Cities and regions are both at the centre of climate change impacts and at the core of our response to both mitigate and adapt. How we manage land use and transform mobility will have effects on the liveability of places; and many of our responses will need to rely on data science and AI technologies such as digital twinning.
About the event
The Alan Turing Institute will host the first, annual all-hands meeting on the Science of Cities and Regions in the School of Geography and Sustainable Development at the University of St Andrews. Under the theme of sustainable and equitable cities, and regions for a net zero world, this event will feature a combination of talks, keynotes and workshops.
This event offers the rare chance for this community of researchers to gather; there will also be many opportunities to network and meet informally to enable future collaboration.
Call for Lightning Talks
Lightning Talks are as they sound; short, sharp and impactful. We’re looking for a range of speakers to present for around 5 – 7 minutes.
If you're interested in presenting a Lightning Talk, please apply during the registration process. We will ask you for your proposed title and a short brief.
Pre-event session for ECRs and PhD students
We will also be hosting a panel discussion and social on Monday 16 October 2023 for early career researchers and PhD students.
Our panellists will share their visions, recount their journey, and reveal the path ahead for early career researchers and PhD students who find these topics part of their research agenda.
This session is in-person only and you can register your interest during booking.
