The Exposure Science Team at the University of Exeter are organising a NERC Advanced Training course - Wearable technology for personal sensing of air pollution and other environmental exposures. This is a 5-day training course from 19th – 23rd Feb 2024, hosted at Imperial College London, targeted at PhD students and Early Career researchers.
Thanks to NERC, we are offering 20 fully-funded positions (est. £2,500 per person) for UKRI researchers nationwide. This includes fully-covered London accommodation, refreshments, a drink reception and a networking dinner. There is also an EDI accessibility fund upon request.
A few keynote speakers include –
Prof. Frank Kelly, Battcock Chair in Community Health & Policy, Imperial College London;
Dr. Gary Fuller, UKRI Clean Air Champion, Imperial College London;
Prof. Ben Barratt, Professor in Environmental Exposure, Imperial College London.
Highlights of the course include a visit to London’s air quality supersite (Europe’s largest), an interactive coding session using R, hands-on wearable sensor training, a few gamified teaching sessions and the co-design of a wearable sensor project. At the end of the training session, students, in groups, will present their developed projects to an expert panel and potentially win an award! More information can be found on www.wearabletraining.org, and applications can be made via the ‘Apply here’ tab. The application deadline is 5th January 2024.
