Simon runs seminar at the University of Exeter

Simon visited the University of Exeter on the 14th May 2008 to hold a seminar on integrating air quality and carbon management at a local governance level. A number of key stakeholders in the subject area were in attendance which provided a great opportunity for Simon to obtain feedback on the interim findings of his research. After his presentation Simon facilitated a workshop session based on three key themes highlighted in his research findings: Inter-professional collaboration; the role of local, national and international governments; and horizon scanning.
