There's a burgeoning UK-wide discussion around sovereign capability and future geospatial skills, so we're delighted to have been invited to join a panel discussion on the topic. Join us in Cambridge next month for the Korec Trimble User Conference: korecgroup96297.ac-page.com/ktuc25
We're thrilled to have reached a significant milestone in our commitment to gender equality by being awarded the prestigious @Athena_SWAN Gold Award – the top recognition in higher education! 🎉 Find out more here. ⬇ bit.ly/46rNzFx #WeAreNCL
We're proud to be part of a new AI Growth Zone in North East England — an initiative set to unlock more than 5,000 new jobs and bring in £30 billion in investment to the region. Find out more 👇 ncl.ac.uk/press/articles… #AI #NorthEast #Innovation #WeAreNCL
Last week saw our amazing Cohort 3, 4 and 5 CDT students present their research at our 2025 Annual Assembly. They did it by working with a group of talented up and coming artists to each produce a "PhD in a Picture" (or sculpture!) at Nottingham Contemporary. Well done to all!
Last week saw two of our PhD researchers attend the Living Planet Symposium in Vienna. Great to see Rachel Walker (pictured) and @ChristelowSam showcase their work to a wider audience.
Prepping for the forthcoming @NorthumbrianH2O Innovation Festival early July including updating our details on the soon to be announced festival app so you can easily fund us and come for a chat.
congratulations to Newcastle Cohort 2 student Richard Burke (geospatialcdt.ac.uk/team/richard-b…) who has passed his PhD viva. Another great success.
Sandy Powell will join a stellar panel at Geo Business 2025! Discover how to enhance geospatial skills with Simon Navin, Sarah Driver, Alison Watson MBE, and Dr Claire Evans. Don't miss out on insights, see you there! #GeoBusiness2025 #GeospatialSkills
Looking forward to attending GeoBusiness 2025 at the ExCeL London next week. If you're attending come and say hello, we'll be at stand G400 for the entire event and with the Education Zone being next to the entrance, you can't miss us!
Congratulations to @SamValman on passing his PhD viva yesterday, our first cohort 2 student to do so. Well done Sam, looking forward to seeing you graduate.
Members of the CDT are at a UK geospatial industry gathering at @Dudley_College to discuss the future of geospatial education at the first Geo:Influence event. @RICSnews @CharteredICES @surveyassoc @UniofNewcastle
Did you participate in the #GreatNorthRun (GNR) in 2023? Take part in our anonymous, 10-minute survey: bit.ly/GNR-Survey Help us understand the impact of extreme weather on the #resilience of #transport systems. For more info get in touch: [email protected]
For our 2023 Group Project, we worked with the UK Space Agency funded project “R2-D2: Resilience to Recovery—Data for Disasters". We've just confirmed publication of that Group Project work, available at mdpi.com/2072-4292/17/9…
Excited to share my latest publication in @FrontSustain! It presents the US Smart Columbus Operating System and UK Urban Observatories. It explores stakeholder engagement & real-time data management for better urban management. @OSUCURA @GeospatialCDT 🔗: doi.org/10.3389/frsc.2…

It's the final push for our CDT Challenge Week with students putting the finishing touches on their results and presentations for our closing workshop this afternoon. We are all really looking forward to seeing the results of the past 5 days work.
Final session, led by Jon, asking how we can work together to inspire, train and employ future experts as well as existing professionals. This afternoon has shown there us huge enthusiasm for future of geospatial programmes at both @UniofNewcastle @UniofNottingham
Our Director @UniofNottingham, Professor Stuart Marsh is leading a roundtable discussion asking partners what UKHE can do to provide their future workforce. There is a strong market for HE (and FE) to create and deliver new training but it starts by inspiring future students.
Opening with our CDT Director, Professor Jon Mills from @EngineeringNCL setting the scene for the rest of the afternoon. Perspectives also from Industry (Colin Murphy from @m_geospatial) Education (Claire Ellul from @ucl) and Professional body (Catherine South from @RGS_IBG
Today, we're at @RGS_IBG who are helping us host a roundtable event looking at the future of Higher Education Geospatial Training in the UK, with representatives from over 30 organisations from across Government, Education and Commercial. @EngineeringNCL @UniofNewcastle
Today is the start of our 2025 Challenge Week and we are in sunny Doncaster! Many thanks to @knightfrank (Cameron presenting) for supporting our week which aims to investigate how data and analytic methods can be applied to support the UK Government's ambitious housing targets.
