Funding Sandpit in Norfolk
The iPACT team hosted a group of 25 academics from across the UK at the second sandpit in West Runton, Norfolk on 10th and 11th January 2023. The sandpit encouraged networking between academics and local stakeholders and council teams. They explored the issues facing this area and discuss possible projects and research needs.
Research questions will be based around themes of:
- Connectivity with the coast
- Inclusive infrastructure
- Maintaining and enhancing resilience
- Coastal region transport
- Nature-inspired, human scale engineering
To find out more about the sandpits and pilot project funding please join the iPACT network to gain access to the members portal.
