JOINING THE DOTS – THE SMART SANDYFORD APPROACH TO DATA, RESEARCH AND CLIMATE ACTION COLLABORATION Joining the Dots – The Smart Sandyford Approach to Data, Research and Climate Action Collaboration

Tackling the major climate issues requires people with different expertise and experience to work together to identify novel but also practical solutions. This panel will focus on the collaborative work between local authorities, academics and industry using the ‘quadruple helix’ model to bring different knowledge bases and approaches together.

This model has already led to our partnering on multi-million euro research projects now core to driving climate solutions in Dublin, and Europe.
The expert panel discussion will include examples from Smart Sandyford projects on analysing sustainable mobility measures in Dublin, and European wide flood resilience.

Speakers:

Dr Conor Dowling (Smart Sandyford)
Ronan Herron (DLR)
Prof Brian Cawfield (TCD Enable)
Prof Salem Gharbia (Sligo IT)
