Technical Awareness Group
Technical Awareness Group (TAG)
Practitioners from the public and private sectors who advise the research team and help keep the work grounded in real-world practice.
What the TAG does
The TAG supports information exchange between the research team and people whose work may be influenced by this research.
TAG members review the proposal and scope of work, attend at least three project meetings, and review and comment on the draft final report. They also check the simulation model’s logic against how the C&D system works in practice.
TAG meetings
Meeting dates, recordings, and minutes are posted on the meetings page.
