The sandpit run over 5 days in January (19th-23rd) and will focus on understanding the interdependencies between water, energy and food security in the context of a more sustainable economy and changing environment.
It is expected that £4-5 million of Research Council funding will be made available to fund research projects arising from this sandpit with additional computational modelling support from STFC
