[Academic] Fwd: City Observatory for student projects

[Alison Yao]

Dear All,

This may be of interest.

Best regards,

Alison


**************************************************************

 Dear colleagues,

 We would like to alert you to the City Observatory Data Portal at
 http://ifuturecities.com/urban-data/city-observatory-data-portal/

 This on-line facility houses open access data from a range of sources,
 with topics including transport, health, energy, crime and community.

 This is the time of year when many of us design, and then supervise,
 honours and masters projects.
 We believe that data from the portal could be incorporated into many
 such projects, across all four faculties.
 We therefore hope that the City Observatory Data Portal will encourage
 student-driven activity that aligns with Strathclyde's Future Cities
 theme.
 We also hope that such efforts could be leveraged into new
 interdisciplinary research collaborations.

 Please let us know if you feel we could help you to firm up ideas for
 student projects.
 We would also appreciate being kept informed of student activity that makes
 use of the City Observatory Data Portal---in particular, we would be
 happy to run a show and tell event later in the academic year.

 Best wishes,

 Jannette Hughes
 City Observatory Project Manager
