How can the UK academic sector and policy makers improve connections between those who understand and use analysis and land use decision makers who would benefit from these insights?
Background
Our key focus areas, detailed in our critical policy issues and questions below, are as follows:
• How emerging and developing technologies are likely to impact the future UK geospatial ecosystem, and how best to track its adoption and use in the economy.
• Further developing our understanding and methodology for valuing location data, applications and services to the economy and society.
• Building confidence in the geospatial ecosystem – including understanding changing public attitudes and growing the future pipeline of geospatial skills.
