The Agile Initiative is inviting Oxford University researchers to come forward with ideas for new Sprint research projects.

Our Researcher Spotlight series offers reflections and insights from Agile Sprint researchers on the experience of being part of rapid, policy oriented, interdisciplinary academic research within the Agile Sprint model.

Nature-based solutions can help communities and businesses cost-effectively adapt to climate change impacts such as floods, droughts and heatwaves, but they need more support in the third National Adaptation Programme.

A second workshop with stakeholders and the Sprint team asking the question: Can we turn waste into fertiliser? Attendees had in detail discussions about research insights and challenges.

Through two days of interactive workshops and information exchange sessions attendees aimed to develop concrete ideas for delivering nature recovery based on the real-world needs of the people involved.

A focussed group drawn from across academia, government, industry, and major investment and regulatory organisations met to hear the first findings from the Sprint's research and to discuss how to scale up green ammonia as a shipping fuel.

Agile researchers have developed an evidence summary to show how revisions to UK planning policy could help reverse the ongoing loss of green spaces and deliver high quality green infrastructure to tackle inequality and support urban regeneration.

The Agile Sprint team highlighted the importance of soil health to provide essential ecosystem services, from food provision to climate change mitigation.

‘Connecting environmental research with policy: a pathway to real-world impacts’, 10-14 July 2023, is now open for applications
