The theme of this conference was Environmental Impacts. We shared all the research that our community is involved in, particularly looking at climate adaptation and developing a greater understanding of how we might influence the path of climate change.
DAFNI’s initial project stage was funded by EPSRC as part of the UK Collaboratorium for Research on Infrastructure and Cities, and in July 2021 we were delighted to receive continuation funding from EPSRC as part of their Resource Only Strategic Equipment (ROSE).
