This proposal seeks funding for the BLG DRC to support and provide a knowledge exchange and outreach programme designed to engage with different types of stakeholders in a variety of ways to (i) facilitate the transference and application of research findings to stakeholders and generation of outcomes; (ii) raise awareness of socio-economic research and advances in Data Science (DS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques that are relevant to stakeholders' needs and how they can benefit from them; (iii) facilitate knowledge exchange for progressing research design, outputs and outcomes. In particular, the proposal includes the following activities to ensure that the work of the Centre gets embedded in organisations such as businesses and the public sector to ensure a lasting legacy and impact of the Centre's work:- Knowledge Exchange Projects (KEPs): these will be small scale feasibility projects where we will be working with a stakeholder to apply and embed the Centre's work and findings. - Focussed Challenge Labs (FCLs): focused interactive sessions with key stakeholders to support the consideration and design of follow up research questions and initial research design for subsequent funding proposals, but also application of existing findings and results. - Research User and Stakeholder Workshops: annual workshops to bring together researchers, policy makers, practitioners and professionals in an interactive set up to explore the challenges that they face and their experiences in the areas of expertise of the Centre providing an opportunity to bring the Centre's work closer to stakeholders, create new relationships and provide a mechanism for encouraging the uptake and application of the Centre's work. - Public Lecture Series: a series of events and activities targeted at engaging with the wider public and raising awareness of both the work of the Centre, but also more wider issues around the use of data and advanced analytics techniques by organisations to deliver better services and improve the quality of life, but also the legal and ethical implications of using DS and AI for decision making in the public sector and industry.- Research User Exchange Fellowship Programme: an exchange programme with research users to enable policy makers, practitioners and professionals to spend time working with a Centre researcher on a specific problem utilising the Centre's work and to enable the translation of research into tangible outcomes.- Participation in research user/stakeholder conferences: the Centre's members will be participating in research users/stakeholders conferences (e.g. Local Government Association Conference) to network and disseminate the work of the Centre and develop new links to increase the uptake of the Centre's work.- Developing Research and Leadership Capacity: we will be supporting the development of early and mid-career researchers through coaching, mentoring, support in submitting research proposals, but also training on public engagement and managing the media among other things provided by the Research Organisation.

该提案寻求为BLG DRC提供资金，以支持和提供知识交流和外联方案，旨在以各种方式与不同类型的利益攸关方接触，以（一）促进向利益攸关方转让和应用研究成果并产生成果;（ii）提高对社会经济研究以及数据科学和人工智能进步的认识（iii）促进知识交流，以推动研究设计、产出和成果。特别是，该提案包括以下活动，以确保中心的工作嵌入企业和公共部门等组织，以确保中心工作的持久遗产和影响：-知识交流项目（KEP）：这些将是小规模的可行性项目，我们将与利益相关者合作，应用和嵌入中心的工作和研究结果。- 重点挑战实验室（FCL）：与主要利益相关者进行重点互动会议，以支持后续研究问题的考虑和设计以及后续资助提案的初步研究设计，以及现有发现和结果的应用。- 研究成果使用者和利益攸关方讲习班：每年举办一次讲习班，使研究人员、决策者、从业人员和专业人员以互动的方式聚集在一起，探讨他们在中心专业领域面临的挑战和经验，提供机会使中心的工作更接近利益攸关方，建立新的关系，并提供一个鼓励理解和应用中心工作的机制。- 公开讲座系列：一系列旨在与更广泛的公众接触并提高对中心工作的认识的活动，以及围绕组织使用数据和先进分析技术提供更好服务和改善生活质量的更广泛问题，以及使用DS和AI进行公共部门和行业决策的法律的和道德影响。研究用户交流奖学金计划：与研究用户的交流计划，使政策制定者，从业人员和专业人员能够花时间与中心研究人员就利用中心工作的特定问题进行合作，并将研究转化为实际成果。参与研究用户/利益相关者会议：该中心的成员将参加研究用户/利益相关者会议（例如地方政府协会会议），以网络和传播该中心的工作，并建立新的联系，以增加该中心工作的吸收。发展研究和领导能力：我们将通过辅导，指导，支持提交研究提案，以及研究组织提供的公众参与和管理媒体等方面的培训来支持早期和中期职业研究人员的发展。
