We had a full house at the Observatory this week, to launch a new dialogue in our state of the region process on population change (pdf, 489kb).
With talks from Anthony Szary (Office for National Statistics), Anne Green (University of Warwick), Chris Allen (BRAP) and Richard Wilson (Sandwell PCT), the dialogue got off to a flying start.
We’ll publish Presentations from the event (with audio) are available on our SlideShare group shortly.
Over the next six months, the work programme for the dialogue will be taken forward by the Population & Society Group, which draws together data analysts, researchers and academics from across the West Midlands.
If you’d like to get involved with the work, add a comment below and we’ll get back to you.
