Part Three – Collaborative Workshops - Session chairs: Jack Harvie-Clark, Association of Noise Consultants and Peter Rogers, Institute of Acoustics
The final part of the workshop will offer you the opportunity to try out your new skills in a safe environment by working in small groups with expert facilitators to consider the application of soundscape tools in practice. This will help identify priorities for further skills that you may need to become more accomplished in this practice. Opportunities for collaboration, Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (http://ktp.innovateuk.org/) and next steps will also be identified and shared with the main session.
