CEEDS Seminar on Encouraging environmental data integration with policy-relevant outcomes
Wednesday 10th December 2.00-3.30pm
We are pleased to announce our next CEEDS seminar on encouraging environmental data integration with policy-relevant outcomes, with a focus on monitoring networks and the emerging use of AI tools.
Data are key to informing decision making and evaluating the effectiveness of policy interventions. However, data are only the starting point. Data reported in studies can add to a body of evidence, which in turn can be used to inform policy and business decisions. COVID-19 highlights the importance of data and evidence, particularly the need for timely and place-based insights, for effective decision making. The need for timely and place-based insights for the environment to inform decision making is also increasingly recognised. Funding pressures on monitoring, diverse data sources with varying coverage, resolution, quality and accessibility, and other factors all pose challenges to integrate data for scientific research and decision-making.
This seminar will be chaired by Mike Perring and Michael Tso (UKCEH) and explore how factors such as changes in policy landscape, advances in AI, and stakeholder engagement can facilitate data integration and accelerate the data-evidence-decision pipeline to achieve policy-relevant outcomes.
This webinar is a follow-on event from the CEEDS-supported virtual stakeholder workshop and hackathon - APIENs 2.0: Towards data integration and use within the Air Pollution Impacts on Ecosystems Networks.
Presentations, followed by a panel discussion, include:
- Mike Perring (UKCEH) with David Vowles (Defra), and Michael Tso (UKCEH): (a) APIENs 2.0 and the environmental policy landscape (b)The role of AI-enhanced digital research infrastructure to enable and assess spatially explicit living evidence
- Paul Whaley (Lancaster University): The role of AI in automating the evidence-to-decision pipeline
- Heather Moorhouse (UKCEH): Towards a UK Biodiversity Observation Network
- Laura Bentley (UKCEH): Agile monitoring to inform policy over 50 years of the Countryside Survey
