Fantastic workshop last Friday on 'Geospatial analysis in education systems research'. The BUILDER project team presented on the data infrastructure we have built (or are building) and we explored possibilities for updating and extending the work to foster greater collaboration and research at scale

Giving the new equipment a workout with an interactive map built as part of a Faculty funded collaborative project between Gonski Institute for Education, UNSW City Futures Research Centre, and external partners. This project was the basis for ongoing collaborations and data infrastructure projects.

Excited to have taken delivery of a Mobile Interactive Touchscreen Workstation - part of a Research Infrastructure Scheme grant. This will enable us to work with partners (and graduate students) using our and their datasets to investigate relationships in education, social, and housing data
