It includes academics from nine universities, environmental agencies, research institutes and has international partners. A few upcoming events and calls that might be of interest are as follows:

Events

Workshop 

A SECURE workshop on “Environmental quality, human exposures and deprivation- improving our understanding of the interactions” will be held on the 12th February 2016 at the Hilton Hotel (Glasgow Grosvenor).

This workshop will further the discussions between environmental health specialists, environmental scientists, statisticians and modellers and policy makers and regulators on data and knowledge gaps, and uncertainties and how they might be filled.

SECURE will open its second Project Feasibility Call on the 12th February 2016

SECURE’s vision is to grow a strong statistical and environmental science community with a shared understanding and knowledge of environmental change challenges to inform decision making through commissioning a number of feasibility projects. A project should involve at least one partner from each of the statistical and environmental science communities. A maximum of £25,000 is available per project.
