Prof. David Uzzell and Dr Birgitta Gatersleben are hosting a one day workshop at the University of Surrey. The focus of this workshop will be on developing ideas for interdisciplinary research projects in the area of ’outdoors and health’ which can be taken forward to the next stages of the project.

We aim to collate a list of potential research questions from the VC roundtables and additional communication with network members via email. This list will be presented to the workshop participants at the start of the workshop under a number of subthemes. These themes (and research questions) will be discussed further during the workshop and will form the basis of the development of interdisciplinary research proposals.

 Agenda

- collate research questions from VC roundtables (3 June)
