Task 3: Knowledge sharing

Are you aware of key datasets, organisations, communities, pipeline plans or shovel-ready demonstrators, or anything else which could help build excellent research proposals for this and other calls?

Along with our stakeholders from other sectors, we invite you to add relevant information to the ideas which have emerged from the Sandpit so far.

Use the links below to access the Murals, find your idea to see what has been added, and add resources to help others too. Remember, the purpose of this sandpit is to build excellent proposals for the call, but also to share knowledge, forge connections, and make the North a leading test-bed for transport decarbonisation research.

The Murals:


Pre-event task 1 – Brainstorming (now closed)

Opens:            Wednesday 20th January

Closes:           6pm, Monday 1st February

This first task is intended to gather as many ideas as possible against each of the transport decarbonisation challenges which were proposed by our members.

Your ideas do not need to be fully formed at this stage, and you can share more than one idea.

The aim of this exercise is to share ideas, inspire one another, and begin to interrogate the possibilities.

Instructions

Use the links below to access the Tricider Polls for the challenges which you are most interested in. Add your own ideas, add pros and cons to your own ideas and other people’s, and upvote the ideas you like and the comments you agree with.

You do not need to post ideas against every challenge, just the challenge(s) that you want to focus on.

Remember: keep all comments constructive, collegial, and polite!

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact DecarboN8@leeds.ac.uk for help.

We look forward to seeing you at the first Sandpit event at 2:30pm on Tuesday 2nd February.
