In total, 9 PhD students from various parts of the UK (Warwick, Sheffield, London, and Reading), Ireland (Dublin), and even The Netherlands (Wageningen and Amsterdam) came to the University of Reading to explore how research can best inform policy and practice and some of the key issues relating to spatial data and GIS applications.

Monique Gulickx reports back from her visit to the IALE World Congress in 2011. Her visit was part-supported by an ialeUK student conference travel award.

Integrating Scientific Research and Policy with Spatial Data

ialeUK is in the process of organising a PhD workshop. The focus is likely to be on 'GIS and spatial data' and also 'Environmental research and policy'.
