Register now for the next ADR UK Researcher Symposium, taking place online on Tuesday 21 October, 14:00 - 16:00. This free event will explore insights from administrative data research on the theme of climate and sustainability.

Administrative data contains a wealth of information that can help us understand issues around climate and sustainability, and how these issues affect people's lives. From active commuting to air pollution, research using administrative data can unlock key insights to inform better decision-making.

This ADR UK Researcher Symposium will bring together researchers from across the ADR UK partnership who are generating insights on climate and sustainability. Speakers will share their findings and discuss how insights from administrative data can support policy and practice.

The event will be chaired by Ian Townsend, Deputy Director - Environmental Economy at the Office for National Statistics.
