Thanks for organising this. It was an excellent opportunity to present our work on how innovative geospatial techniques can improve data collection on forced displacement @WorldPopProject @jointdatacenter @UoSGeogEnv @FCDOGovUK @ONS @Refugees #ForcedDisplacement #DataInnovation
At @RoyalStatSoc International Conference, a presentation about open data and innovative methods helped to expand the focus from national to global, and from East Africa to Europe. Read more: https://t.co/egSBpjAlKm
