Sandpit diary
A sandpit is a week of intensive, hosted collaboration: workshops, focus groups, data collection and steering, plus enough time in the host city to build the social capital the research depends on.
The series rotates between partner institutions so that every partner hosts and every partner travels. Where a sandpit has been written up, the diary entry links to the report.
