Were you unable to attend workshop 1 but still plan to bid?
First, please watch the recordings from the workshop:
Then, please check out the Mural exercise(s) below for the challenge(s) you are interested in.
- Do you agree with the conclusions the group reached?
- Double click to add post-its outlining your thoughts
The Murals:
- Active travel & economics
- Carbon budgets
- Car-dependence
- Community-led decarbonisation
- Electrification
- Embodied emissions
- Hydrogen
- Ideas that don’t fit under the other themes
- Inclusive transport decarbonisation
- Micro-logistics
- Public transport post-covid
- Rural transport decarbonisation
- Sub/urban transport decarbonisation
Pre-event task 2: All Sandpit Participants:
Task 1: Build your proposal team
- Check out the biographies of other participants – get in touch with them if you’d like to discuss collaborating.
- Check out the potential project partner database – get in touch with stakeholders from other sectors about partnering to develop your proposal and deliver your project.
- Watch this playlist from our funders (EPSRC) about collaborative research
Task 2: Intention to submit
To be eligible to continue in the Sandpit process and to submit a full stage proposal you must complete the intention to submit form by no later than 5pm on Wednesday 10th February.

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:
- Active travel & economics
- Carbon budgets
- Car-dependence
- Community-led decarbonisation
- Electrification
- Embodied emissions
- Hydrogen
- Ideas that don’t fit under the other themes
- Inclusive transport decarbonisation
- Micro-logistics
- Public transport post-covid
- Rural transport decarbonisation
- Sub/urban transport decarbonisation
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!
Having trouble using Tricider? Here are some more detailed instructions
1. Use the links below to navigate to the ‘Tricider’ platform for each of your top challenges, and click ‘Add idea’ to add your idea(s) to the poll.
Remember: Make sure you post your idea(s) on the Tricider poll for the correct challenge.
The Tricider Polls:
- Active travel and economics
- Carbon budgets
- Car-dependence
- Community-led decarbonisation
- Electrification
- Embodied emissions
- Hydrogen
- Ideas that don’t fit under the other themes
- Inclusive transport decarbonisation
- Micro-logistics
- Public transport post-covid
- Rural transport decarbonisation
- Sub/urban transport decarbonisation
2. Look at the ideas posted by the other participants. Can you think of any pros and cons? Consider:
- Does this idea address an evidence gap?
- What issues does the idea raise regarding societal readiness?
- Where in the North of England could this idea apply to?
- What is the carbon reduction potential of this idea? Can it be quantified?
3. Add your pros and cons to the ideas (you can add some to your own too if you like) by clicking ‘Add argument’.
Remember: keep all comments constructive, collegial, and polite!
4. Use the 👍 button to indicate which pro and con arguments you agree with.
5. Use the ‘Vote’ button to vote for the ideas you like the sound of.
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.
