By convening innovators\, city leaders\, transport authorities\, active travel commissioners\, central government\, business leaders and world-leading academics\, we will open a space to explore current blockers and propose new mechanisms to unlock the full potential of active travel to power the shift to healthy\, low carbon mobility. \nFull Event Description: \nTogether with industry and place leaders\, we want to develop an ambitious\, coordinated and directed active travel programme that will grow the UK active travel market and drive jobs\, enterprise\, innovation\, investment\, and trade opportunities. There are many definitions of Active Travel. At the Catapult we take an inclusive approach which broadly covers any means of getting from A to B where your legs\, arms and heart do their fair share of the work. \nThe Active Travel Summit brings together a cross-section of stakeholders vital to accelerating the active travel agenda and unlocking the full potential of the active travel market\, from decision-makers and planners in government\, cities and towns\, through to the investment community\, small and large businesses\, academia\, strategic bodies and not-for-profit organisations. \nThe Summit will feature TeamGB stars like Dame Sarah Storey – Active Travel Commissioner for the Sheffield City Region – and her London equivalent\, Will Norman\, with business leaders like Will Butler Adams from Brompton Bikes\, Arup’s Susan Claris and innovative property developers like Harry Badham and Roger Madelin of Hammerson and British Land respectively. The new Chief Scientific Advisor to the Department for Transport\, Professor Sarah Sharples and Professor Rachel Aldred of the Active Travel Academy will bring to life the UK’s leading role in related fields of science and research. \nThe Connected Places Catapult is taking the lead on accelerating solutions by identifying opportunities and tackling the challenges faced by this high-potential industry. We recognise that the opportunities created by walking\, cycling\, running\, wheeling and scooting in the UK are huge. We can open up new forms of active travel to people across the country\, decarbonise transport\, accelerate net zero\, transform our roads and streets\, create attractive people-friendly places\, address the obesity crisis\, and improve mental health. \nUK businesses are building an enormously diverse range of products and services that make active travel a thriving\, high-growth and forward-facing sector. Given global investment and rapid policy and regulatory shifts at national\, regional and city government level this presents a substantial export potential – cutting across multiple sectors where the UK has a strong global reputation like design\, masterplanning\, engineering\, project finance\, insurance and other high-value consultancy. This is driven by fundamental and applied research and a rapid technology curve\, not least in terms of battery technology and electric mobility. From apps that guide journeys\, bikes that can be carried on trains\, to scooters that can fold under a desk\, e-bikes that flatten the hardest of hills\, and light electric vehicles (LEVs) that can deliver to your door using only pedal power – the UK is at the forefront of the hardware and software of the active travel revolution. This has the potential to thrive and scale in what Prime Minister Boris Johnson has called ‘a new golden age’ in cycling\, walking and active mobility. \n \nWhy Attend \n\nIf you are innovating in the Active Travel market\, we want to find ways to celebrate and showcase your work. We want to give you the space to be inspired and to highlight opportunities with the people who might be able to help. \n\n\nIf you are an investor or an owner of big strategic challenges relating to Active Travel\, we want you to explore the role of Collaborative Research & Development (CR&D) and the innovation market. \n\n\nIf you are a place leader\, transport authority or decision maker\, we want to provide a space for you to explore how you can better leverage the power of the UK’s rich and diverse Active Travel innovation market. You will discuss with peers how you might share requirements\, collectively approach problems or share challenges with the market. \n\nNo matter who you are\, we want you to leave inspired by this celebration of British innovation in Active Travel\, ready to play your part in helping the industry step (and ride) up yet another gear. \n \nAGENDA \n09:15 WELCOME REMARKS \n09:30 ACTIVE TRAVEL: An immense commercial opportunity in a global growth sector \n10:45 LEV-ELLING UP: Light Electric Vehicles (Levs)\, Micromobility\, Sustainable Freight and more as a driver of inclusive growth \n12:30 Networking Lunch \n13:30 BOOSTING ACTIVE TRAVEL R&D: A step and gear change in investment and innovation \n14:45 STEP & GEAR CHANGE: Design-led innovation to unlock journeys on foot in a net zero world \n15:30 Networking Break \n15:50 PLANNING FOR REAL CHANGE: Creating the conditions to boost demand in 20 Minute Neighbourhoods \n17.00 CLOSING REMARKS: Reflections and call to arms and legs for the sector \n17.10 Networking reception URL:https://matrixni.org/event/active-travel-summit/ CATEGORIES:Innovation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://matrixni.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/9f715efa6488779badf333a3e4c8fbb4.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210929 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210930 DTSTAMP:20260422T195825 CREATED:20210927T082340Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210927T082340Z UID:24913-1632873600-1632959999@matrixni.org SUMMARY:Genomics England Innovation Showcase 2021 DESCRIPTION:A showcase of innovations for the future of genomics healthcare. \nJoin Genomics England for discussions around key factors impacting project goals and the field in general\, including a session on diversity.

Apply to participate in the RAEng Frontiers Symposia – if successful you can bid for seed funding to take forward a collaborative project established at the event\, ensuring that partnerships are built to last. \nAttendance at a Frontiers symposia is by invitation only following a rigorous selection process. Applicants can self nominate or nominate an other person for a specific event or make a general application. \nApply to attend – Royal Academy of Engineering (raeng.org.uk) \nThe goal of the symposia is to facilitate introductions and collaboration between outstanding researchers\, innovators and practitioners working in the international development field. \nWhilst working jointly on concepts for engineering for development\, attendees share new techniques and approaches across disciplinary boundaries and build lasting connections. Delegates will be approximately 0-20 years post-doc\, or have equivalent experience in industry\, presenting a great opportunity to establish valuable contacts with the next generation of engineering leaders and beyond. \nSymposium content and themes\nWe face a global biodiversity crisis\, with unprecedented and accelerating rates of species extinctions and degradation of habitats. This will have grave impacts on the worlds human population dependent on the ecosystems services they provide.  However\, biodiversity is a broad theme with many challenges encompassed within it. There is a need to simultaneously identify the major challenges faced (such as those defined by the Sustainable Development Goals) and the areas where interdisciplinary environmental engineering and science can have the greatest impact to maximise the benefits gained relative to costs – “maximising the bang for the buck”. \nIt is recognised that the global biodiversity emergency affects lower- and middle-income countries the hardest. There are potential conflicts between conservation efforts and resource exploitation that can often negatively impact the communities in LMICs and undermine efforts of development. \nThis symposium will scope out those challenges that would most benefit from engineering solutions\, as part of interdisciplinary collaborations\, and explore this within the context of the themes: Marine\, Freshwater and Terrestrial. \nEach theme will be explored from a research\, policy and industry perspective\, facilitating dialogue from a wide range of disciplines\, including engineering\, environmental science and management\, social sciences\, and economics and governance. \nEvent Chairs\nPaul Kemp\, Professor of Ecological Engineering\, University of Southampton\n \nPaul Kemp is a Professor of Ecological Engineering and director of the International Centre for Ecohydraulics Research at University of Southampton and founding editor in chief of the IAHR Journal of Ecohydraulics. As a result of his interest in sustainable infrastructure and the built environment he is also director of the University of Southampton Future Towns Innovation Hub\, the EPSRC funded Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Sustainable Infrastructure Systems\, and the UKCRIC CDT in Sustainable Infrastructure for Cities. \nPaul’s interests relate to the development of more environmentally friendly water\, energy and food systems\, and in particular sustainable fisheries management.  His research focuses on the application of behavioural ecology to understanding and solving challenges in water and energy engineering\, particularly how the physical environment (e.g. hydrodynamics and acoustics) influence the behaviour and physiological performance of fish\, and how manipulation of that environment by engineering means can be used to mitigate for negative impacts of water and energy resource development. Specific applications include fish pass and screening design\, assigning compensation flow regimes\, and improving habitat restoration strategies. \n*Second chair to be announced\n Symposium Format\nVirtual symposium\nDelegates meet and work together on the Frontiers’ virtual platform\, where they watch pre-recorded presentations\, engage in theme related content\, network with other delegates and collaborate on seed funding. \nThis leads to 2 days of live event in the second week where delegates participate in breakout rooms to workshop the ideas being discussed on the platform. \nParticipants are obliged to participate in every session to maximise the opportunity to make new contacts and build collaborative relationships. To ensure there is a balance of formal and informal networking opportunities\, informal networking will be organised. \nPost event funding\nFollowing the symposium\, there will be an opportunity to be awarded up to £20\,000 in seed funding for an idea generated from collaborations created during the event. \n\n\n  URL:https://matrixni.org/event/from-seeds-to-needs-regenerating-ecosystems-services-to-halt-the-biodiversity-crisis/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Circular Green,Engineering ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://matrixni.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/bec0326927b237aaabf3decac819f2ea.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20210923T091500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20210923T140000 DTSTAMP:20260422T195825 CREATED:20210810T140708Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210810T140708Z UID:24678-1632388500-1632405600@matrixni.org SUMMARY:Innovation Places Summit DESCRIPTION:Stimulating the Innovation Economy in the UK\n\n\nAs we look to invest in growth and recovery across the country\, creating hubs for innovation activity is more important than ever. The CPC Innovation Places Summit will convene national place-makers and innovation practitioners who are looking to build the next generation of UK innovative hubs\, quarters\, and districts. At this one-day summit\, innovation district leaders\, policymakers\, and place practitioners will be invited to share ideas for stimulating the innovation economy in their localities. \nInnovation is at the heart of the UK’s recovery from COVID and the future economy. At the same time\, it is widely recognised that economic productivity is unevenly distributed across the UK.  \n \nFollowing the publication of the Government’s UK Innovation Strategy\, place leaders across the country are reflecting on how best to invest in innovation and create regional hubs of discovery and job creation. The Innovation Strategy has been clear in its ambitions: local places will be driving growth\, building on existing strengths to enable innovation and attract investment.\n \nTo build momentum and help achieve this\, the Connected Places Catapult will convene a national network of place-makers and innovation practitioners who are looking to build the next generation of UK innovative hubs\, quarters\, and districts. Professionals from a range of backgrounds are invited to the Summit to share ideas for stimulating the innovation economy in their localities.\n \nWe invite you to join\, to meet with other place-makers and innovation leaders\, share best practice\, identify common barriers to growth and acceleration\, and discuss potential solutions. We will also share a simple tool\, based on the 6-stage framework from our recently published Hubs of Innovation Playbook\, for you to assess what stage your innovation hub is at so that you can attend sessions with places in similar stages of growth.\n \nThe Innovation Places Summit represents the first step in creating a national place-based innovation network. This will enable places to collaboration and share knowledge – vital for successful delivery of the Innovation Strategy. \nWhy attend: \n\nLearn how to navigate the challenges of setting up and scaling a hub of innovation \nHear best practice from leading innovation districts and consider how to apply this in local contexts \nBuild a network with places for future collaboration \nPrepare for how best to develop a strong bid for forthcoming Innovation Deals \nIdentify specific tools and frameworks which can support hubs of innovation in different stages \n\nWho should attend: \n\nPlace leaders – Local Authorities\nDevelopers\n Academia \n\nAgenda \n09.15 – 09.30 – Welcome by Connected Places Catapult \n09.30 – 09.45 – Keynote address \n09.45 – 10.30 – Cities Panel \n10.30 – 11.15 – Workshops \n\nSession 1A: Workshop: Social and Civic value of innovation \nSession 1B: Workshop: Coalition and stakeholder building \n\n11.15 – 11:45 – Coffee break and networking \n11:45 – 12:30 – Workshops \n\nSession 2A: Case studies: Setting Up and Auditing stages. \nSession 2B: Case studies: Growth and Maturity stages \n\n12:30 – 13:15 – Workshops \n\nSession 3A: Workshop: Developing SME support \nSession 3B: Workshop: Making the Strategic Case \n\n13:15 – 13:55 – How to win investment and gain global profile \n13:55 – 14:00 – Closing Remarks URL:https://matrixni.org/event/innovation-places-summit/ CATEGORIES:Innovation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://matrixni.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/f94ce75a4cf8c2afdeaf3d69e850db29.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20210922T181500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20210922T191500 DTSTAMP:20260422T195825 CREATED:20210715T124844Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210715T125035Z UID:24484-1632334500-1632338100@matrixni.org SUMMARY:AI for Governance and Governance of AI DESCRIPTION:How can we safely exploit and govern AI?\n\n\nSPEAKER\nMike Small of KuppingerCole \nAGENDA\n\n\n18:15 – Room Opens \n18.30 – Presentation \n19.30 – Close \n\n\nSYNOPSIS \nHow can we safely exploit and govern AI? \nArtificial Intelligence is a hot topic and many organizations are looking to exploit it\, but there are many concerns around the impact this will have on society. The concept of AI is not new\, but cloud computing has provided the access to data and computing power needed to turn it into a practical reality. \nHowever\, despite some concerns\, the current state of AI is still a long way from the Sci-Fi portrayal of a threat to humanity. Machine Learning technologies provide significantly improved capabilities to analyse large amounts of data. While this poses a threat of “Big Other” it also makes them suitable for spotting patterns and anomalies so\, potentially useful for detecting fraudulent activity\, security breaches and non-compliance.

Around 1 in every 4 of all adults in the UK are now living with two or more chronic medical conditions and the associated burden of polypharmacy. The impacts on patient outcomes are widely disproportionate across the UK with multimorbidity presenting on average 10-15 years earlier in disadvantaged populations. \nThe majority of diagnostics\, therapeutics and digital healthcare technologies currently being  developed target specific disease indications within separate patient interventions. \nThe vision to be discussed at this workshop is how an expanding knowledge of disease clusters and the biomarkers that underpin them can transform market opportunities and growth for UK businesses developing diagnostics\, therapeutics and digital solutions that are optimised and made available to all patients with multiple long-term conditions\, regardless of socioeconomic status. Advances in pharmacogenomic capabilities that inform personalised sensitivity to drugs and ease the burden of polypharmacy will also be discussed. \nIf you would like to contribute to this critical discussion\, please register your Expression of Interest for either or both of the following workshops. \n\nDay 1  – Challenges and opportunities for better detection\, diagnosis and clinical management of multimorbidity \nThe focus of this session is to explore how the UK health system is currently responding to the increasing number of patients with multiple long-term conditions and the impacts of healthcare inequalities on patient outcomes. We will also explore opportunities for businesses to bring about much needed innovations in the prevention\, early diagnosis and management of multi-morbidity. \nBreakout sessions \n\nHow to achieve an equitable\, inclusive\, patient-centred management of multimorbidity.\nSupport for business-led innovation: how to create an environment where multimorbidity solutions can be adopted?\nPopulation health and integrated care / outcomes based care: how can we deliver better management of multimorbidity in this evolving healthcare ecosystem?\n\nDay 2 –  Innovation to optimise  therapeutic options for prevention and treatment of multimorbidity \nThe focus of this day is to explore unmet clinical needs in the effective treatment and therapy of patients with multiple long term conditions. Such patients have been historically excluded from clinical trials and also suffer from the burden of polypharmacy complications that affect quality of life. Innovation that supports a more holistic and personalised intervention\, that applies patient stratification and pharmacogenomics\, could dramatically improve health outcomes for diverse patient groups. \nBreakout sessions \n\nChallenges and opportunities of delivering personalised treatment for multimorbid patients (including role of pharmacogenomics and polypharmacy)\nReal world clinical trials: how can we support a more inclusive approach?\nHow to translate complex data into meaningful clinical decision support?

But is it sustainable\, and how can companies prepare for a future not yet defined? Future of Work Summit 2021 is committed to delivering key insights into new ways of working\, providing a platform to discuss and debate the challenges and solutions – underpinned by the transformative impact of technology. \nWith 2020 providing an unintentional mass home working experiment\, we have proven our resilience\, as employees continue to work\, develop new skills\, and adopt new ways of living. These changes to how we work provided a temporary solution\, and now the question remains; how do we create a sustainable future of work which continues to use technology to build a more effective workplace? \nThis year\, we will focus the conversation through these key topics: \n\nThe growing need for robust working solutions. Employees proved they can work effectively outside the office hub\, promoting the rise of the future of hybrid working. With this however\, came new challenges concerning equality\, accessibility\, and security in a remote environment.\nAddressing the digital divide. There must be a move towards addressing the diverse digital habits and capabilities of each generation. This is key to managing the generation gap and attracting multigenerational talent in an increasingly competitive market.\nThe blend of technology and wellbeing. Something which has greatly suffered since the start of the pandemic\, maintaining this new level of support and engagement with colleagues will be a challenge. It has given rise to new expectations of companies to better prioritise wellbeing\, and to utilise technology to aid new strategies.\nCreating a desirable culture. This will be crucial for business leaders looking to attract and retain new talent whilst remaining competitive. Cultivating an inclusive environment to embrace all colleagues and empower diverse perspectives to drive change will be essential.\n\nIntegration of technology into the workplace has changed how employees and businesses engage with work\, whilst simultaneously workers’ expectations have begun to change as they search for greater flexibility and more meaning. The Future of Work Summit 2021 provides a unique opportunity to discuss these developing attitudes and gain new perspectives on the challenges. The way we work is changing\, and it has never been more important to understand and prepare for the future.

The way we live our lives and do business is impacting the planet and driving environmental change on a scale unique in the Earth’s history. We are consuming our natural resources at unprecedented levels whilst polluting our environment\, affecting our air\, soils\, water and biodiversity. This is increasing the challenges linked to extreme weather and a changing climate which can have devastating impacts on the environment and human life and hinder economic growth. To meet these challenges\, and recognising our leadership potential\, in 2019 the UK became the first major economy to commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. \nThe net zero series sheds light on the work already undertaken by UKRI’s flagship programme -the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund to address the key challenges that will help the UK build back greener. It will bring together world-renowned researchers and innovators across the breadth of our funding disciplines to discuss the need for innovative solutions to heat our homes\, travel to work\, develop and transform our industries\, cater to our diet\, enjoy our leisure time\, and prosper from a cleaner\, healthier environment in parallel with growing our economy. \nWe will run a monthly webinar from April to November featuring ISCF challenges\, UKRI councils and project leads\, as well as renowned external experts from academia\, industry and technology fields. \nIn September we will be discussing Sustainable Supply Chains : To help reach net zero we need to look at our supply chains and explore ways to make them more efficient.

Homes account for 15% of the UK’s total emissions\, yet there has been little progress towards reducing these over the past decade. Confidence has been damaged by repeated U-turns and policy failures\, including the Green Deal and the Green Homes Grant. \nAchieving net zero by 2050 will require a huge national programme to deliver the infrastructure needed to reduce residential emissions – retrofitting homes\, installing heat pumps and developing local heat networks. The government\, businesses and consumers all have key roles to play. But how should the government approach policy making in this area? Will the long overdue Heat and Buildings Strategy be worth the wait and offer a clear plan? How can previous policy failures be learnt from? And how can we ensure the UK’s infrastructure is ready to support zero-emission homes? \nOn our panel to discuss these issues will be: \n\nLord Callanan\, Minister for Business\, Energy & Corporate Responsibility at BEIS\nChris Burchell\, Managing Director\, Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) Distribution\nGillian Cooper\, Head of Energy Policy at Citizens Advice\nGuy Newey\, Director of Strategy and Performance at the Energy Systems Catapult\n\nThis event will be chaired by Marcus Shepheard\, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Government URL:https://matrixni.org/event/hitting-net-zero-how-the-government-can-decarbonise-homes/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Energy END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20210915T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20210917T123000 DTSTAMP:20260422T195825 CREATED:20210810T140031Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210810T140031Z UID:24653-1631703600-1631881800@matrixni.org SUMMARY:UKAuthority Resilience & Cyber4Good 2021 DESCRIPTION:Digital\, data and technology underpin our public services – how do we ensure continuity and keep them safe from cyber-attack?\n\n\nResilience is the name of the game\, and cyber-attack one of our greatest threats in the public sector.

DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn how we have been using AI to identify patients at risk of long term hospital stays and how you can apply to work with us.\n\n\nOver the last 12 weeks The NHSx Skunkworks partnered with Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Accelerated Capability Environment (ACE) partners\, Polygeist to explore the question can machine learning help us to identify patients who are at risk of long term stay? Long term stay is when a patient stays in hospital for more than 21 days. \nThe AI Lab Skunkworks works on Demonstrating the potential of AI through proofs-of-concepts and upskilling the workforce through a knowledge-sharing model. We help healthcare organisations apply AI to their problems through rapid\, agile\, iterative projects. By running an open call\, we help develop proofs of concepts through a 12 week process usually helped by a supplier. We’re excited to present the results of our last project. \nIn this show and tell you will learn all about: \n\nHow we investigated the benefits of AI applied to hospital admissions data\nWhat we did and how we collaborated on this project\nWhat AI approach we took and why\nWhat we created and the benefits of creating a proof of concept\nWhat the benefits are in the short\, medium and long term\nThe impact of creating this proof of concept\nHow you can solve a similar problem using our open approach\nHow you can apply to work with us on a problem you’ve seen.

DESCRIPTION:The webinar represents the 14th meeting of the Spatial Productivity Lab at the OECD Trento Centre and is organised in collaboration with Swedish Entrepreneurship Forum \nInnovation is the most important contributor to long-term economic growth. It is not just about “pushing the frontier”\, but also about the spread of ideas and technologies throughout the economy. Innovation diffusion can help regions to catch up by integrating and building on existing ideas and technologies. Yet\, the spread of innovation seems to be slow. What are the mechanisms of innovation diffusion\, what are the barriers and how can regions more actively and successfully learn in order to increase their productivity\, competitiveness and wellbeing? \nSwedish Entrepreneurship Forum is the leading network organization for initiating\, conducting and communicating policy relevant research in the field of entrepreneurship\, innovation\, business dynamics and growth. Swedish Entrepreneurship Forum is the founder of the most prestigious international research prize in the field: Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research. \nThe Spatial Productivity Lab (SPL) at the OECD Trento Centre for Local Development is a dedicated research laboratory that works with local and global partners to advance knowledge about the ways regional policy and a better understanding of spatial links can improve productivity growth and thereby the creation of better jobs and well-being.

It’s often said that nations pledge but cities deliver. So as world leaders prepare for the COP26 Climate Change Summit in Glasgow this November\, the role of cities will be crucial in delivering on their pledges.\n \n \nAs part of this global conversation\, the UK’s Connected Places Catapult has partnered with Singapore’s Centre for Liveable Cities on a series of Mayoral Dialogues\, led by Prof. Greg Clark CBE\, Chairman of Connected Places Catapult. On The Net Zero Road to COP26 and Beyond\, we ask how global city leaders and stepping up to one of the biggest challenges humanity faces: a changing climate and the need to reduce global carbon emissions.\n \n \nWe explore city carbon neutrality plans ranging from net zero neighbourhoods\, active travel\, sustainable homes\, and the decarbonisation of transport. We’ll be asking how city leaders are financing net zero programmes\, how they’re fostering the innovation economy\, and how global collaboration between cities can spark new ideas and unlock opportunity.\n \n \nSpotlight on Bristol\n \n \nProfessor Greg Clark CBE\, Chairman of Connected Places Catapult has a fireside chat with Mayor Rees\, Bristol City Council\, who will be showcasing best practices from Bristol that are leading the way on the net zero road to COP26 and beyond following the city’s pledge to be a carbon neutral and climate resilient city by 2030.\n \n \nWho Should Attend and Why?\n \n \nIf you’re a place leader\, we want you to gain inspiration from others and identify new opportunities for collaboration on net zero projects. We’ll be looking at some of the challenges that place leaders tackle daily in cities\, such as 1) thinking creatively about the totality of a place when setting visions and plans\, 2) making the business case for local investment in a sustainable future\, and 3) the power of city-to-city collaboration\, both local and global.\n \nIf you are an innovator\, a start-up or an SME we want you to get a better understanding of what place leaders are thinking when it comes to procuring and enabling innovation when budgets are tight and capacity is often stretched.\n \nIf you are a researcher we want you to get a better understanding of the role that R&D plays in a city’s innovation economy\, and how city leaders are thinking about the role of skills and talent in harnessing new opportunities for collaboration and growth.\n \nNo matter who you are\, we want you to leave inspired by how global city leaders around the world are marshalling the skills\, talent\, creativity and assets of their places for the transition to a net zero city. \nSpeakers \n\nMayor Marvin Rees\, City of Bristol \nProf Greg Clark OBE\, Chairman\, Connected Places Catapult \n\nAgenda \n09.00 – welcome and introduction \n09.05 – Interview with Mayor Marvin Rees \n09.40 – Questions from the Audience \n09.55 – Wrap up and close \n10.00 event close URL:https://matrixni.org/event/city-leaders-dialogues-the-net-zero-road-to-cop26-and-beyond/ CATEGORIES:Innovation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://matrixni.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/8fa6f225544427f4badf01a6f8477036.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20210906T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20210906T140000 DTSTAMP:20260422T195825 CREATED:20210820T103622Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210820T103734Z UID:24748-1630933200-1630936800@matrixni.org SUMMARY:In conversation with Professor Neil Ferguson DESCRIPTION:As one of the UK’s top epidemiologists and the head of the influential modelling group at Imperial College London\, Neil Ferguson has played a critical role in providing advice during the Covid-19 crisis\, as well as previous crises including foot and mouth. \nIn conversation with Bronwen Maddox\, Director of the Institute for Government\, Professor Ferguson will discuss the lessons he has learned about advising government\, the role of scientific modelling in informing decision making and how scientists should communicate with the public.
