Jo provides expert advise at Air Quality Hackathon in London this weekend

Jo will be providing expert advise at the Future Cities Catapult Air Quality Hackathon in London this weekend. The event, which has nearly 100 registrants so far, aims to get designers, data scientist and creative technologists working with a multitude of relevant datasets to come up with solutions to the following questions:

•  How could data help policymakers to make more informed decisions around air quality?
•  How could we reduce the number of short journeys made by car and encourage more active mobility?
• How could we design tools or services to help people understand the causes or effects of air pollution? 

Jo will be presenting, alongside Professor Frank Kelly (KCL) and Usman Haque (Umbrellium), on Air Quality Management and Policy to set the context for the event and will remain on-hand throughout to deal with any questions and as part of the judging panel to award the best hacks.
