Sprint Research Planning Webinars

In this recorded webinar series, hear from experts at the Agile Initiative on how to plan a Sprint. In this series we cover interdisciplinarity, managing a Sprint, theory of change, co-creation, and the Equality Impact Assessment.
Diversity and Inclusion Plan

In March 2024 we published our Diversity and Inclusion Plan, detailing our commitments in this area.
Programme Research Webinars

At two webinars in 2024, the Agile Initiative programme research team presented their discussion documents on "The role of public and deliberation" and "Should universities shift from evidence producers to co-producers?" (June 2024)
SUMMARY The Role of Publics and Deliberation

This paper summarises the discussion paper reviewing the role of publics and deliberation at the environmental science-policy interface
The Role of Publics and Deliberation at the environmental science-policy interface

This discussion paper, written by the Agile Initiative programme research team, reviews the role of publics and deliberation at the environmental science-policy interface.
SUMMARY Impact and Collaboration in Environmental Research

This paper summarises the discussion paper exploring the relationship between environmental research and its use in environmental policy.
Impact and Collaboration in Environmental Research: Moving universities from evidence producers to co-producers

This discussion paper, written by the Agile Initiative programme research team, explores the relationship between environmental research and its use in environmental policy.
Addressing regulatory challenges for offshore Geological Carbon Storage in the UK

Interactions of Co2 with Sedimentary Blue Carbon: The Fate of Leaked Co2 from a Geological Storage Site

This pre-print paper assesses the potential for disruption of blue carbon stored in sediments, and interactions of leaked CO2 with that sedimentary blue carbon, experimentally, above a sub-seafloor geological CO2 storage site in the North Sea.
