AQMRC's Global Research Impact

The AQMRC have a history of sharing expertise and developing partnerships through research globally, with resultant impact on policy development at home and abroad. Some specific examples of AQMRC's research impact are now provided on the UWE webpage (http://www1.uwe.ac.uk/research/researchimpact/improvingairquality.aspx) and you can also see details of our wide range of current and recent projects on our Research Project pages (http://www1.uwe.ac.uk/et/research/aqmrc/researchprojects.aspx).

Research showcase posters

The Sustainable Energy and the Environment Research Showcase at Bath University on Wednesday 17th September was a resounding success with hundreds of delegates attending from academia and industry. The event provided a perfect opportunity for dissemination of the broad range of PhD and research projects currently being undertaken by the AQMRC.

Dotun to present at TPM 2008

Dotun had his paper accepted by Planning and Transport, Research and Computation (PTRC) the organisers of the 6th annual Transport Practitioners Meeting (TPM) 2008 in Reading. Dotun will be speaking at the conference on 16th of July, 2008 to a broad range of transport engineers, planners and urban transport designers on some of the findings of his research.
