Why waste data is so rubbish

Building on a talk from May's Show and Tell event, October's session takes a longer look at one of the UK's most grimy industries, waste crime, which costs the English economy £1 billion each year.

We will be hearing from two speakers who will share why and how accessing good data about waste is such a sticky problem. Our first speaker is Sophie Walker, CEO and co-founder of Southport-based Dsposal.

Important information: This event will take place online via Zoom. We will send out a link to join the session on the morning of the event and 30 minutes before the start time.

Who is the LCR Data Community of Practice?

We are a group of people from across the region's data ecosystem that work in or are interested in working with data. We have quarterly in-person meet-ups around lunchtime with online events in between. Our events are informal, welcoming and free.

For any questions about this event, please contact Dr Kirsty Styles: kirsty@lcrdcp.org

This event is organised by Open Data Manchester CIC in partnership with the Civic Health Innovation Labs at the University of Liverpool.
