Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council

Daniela's project is quite interesting actually.

It's a social sciences project that we've recently been awarded by EPSRC that's working alongside Tower Hamlets Council and a bunch of local GPs that's kind of come together to help us.

The whole project is centered around understanding the socioeconomic impact of osteoarthritis within our local community.

So the Tower Hamlets Borough has a catchment area of two and a half million people, which is incredible when you think about it.

I'd also like to thank UKRAS Steps for making this episode possible.

UKRAS Steps is an EPSRC-funded programme that empowers and supports research technical professionals in robotics and autonomous systems in the UK.

You can find out more about the programme and about upcoming opportunities by going to ukras-steps.org.

This is a new format of bonus episode for the podcast, so I'd love to hear what you think.

Okay

... um, as part of the Ecological Citizens Network program, which was, um, funded by the EPSRC.

Uh, it's amazing program.

Um, it's had, uh, just over three years of, uh, research that's focused on this idea of ecological citizenship, and together with University of West of England, uh, we wanted to experiment with this idea of nature-centric systemic risk.
