Solving Urban Challenges with Data competition

Nov 06, 2014

Innovate UK, ESRC and NERC are to invest up to £7.5m in collaborative R&D projects (with a proportion available for relevant feasibility studies) to develop new solutions to urban challenges through their competition 'Solving Urban Challenges with Data'. 

 

Projects should seek to create solutions and services that offer specific commercial benefits and/or limit risks and increase the resilience, quality of life or economic performance of urban areas by integrating environmental, social and/or economic data with data from other sources. The focus is on better defining and solving problems through finding innovative ways to combine data sources. 

 

The briefing events will include;

  • an opportunity to hear about the scope of the competition in more detail
  • an overview of some of the datasets available
  • an opportunity to network and develop partnerships for the competition

Register here for one of six events hosted around the UK.
