- Ensuring the UK has the right diversity in the S&T landscape: How can the UK RDI system be mapped thematically and usefully (systems mapping as well as geographical mapping)? What have previous attempts achieved and how? How can gaps in the system be identified?
- What new and emerging technologies (including cloud, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality) will impact geospatial skills and innovation, and access to geospatial data in the future, and how could the UK leverage these technologies?
- How best can local context be incorporated into data received to understand how local events and human and natural geographical features of the area affect the speed of build and risks of delivery?
- Building on from the Assessing the UK’s regional digital ecosystems research published by DSIT, what could be the most efficient solutions in addressing the differing maturity of local ecosystems between, and within, UK regions?
- How is international R&I activity distributed across the UK at a sub-regional level?
- How can we better understand novel uses or applications of AI in the geospatial ecosystem, such as in the analysis of Earth Observation and Population Movement data, 3D visualisation, and climate modelling?
- How might Artificial Intelligence tools such as language models be useful in:i) processing delivery data ii) increasing understanding of geospatial areas and associated risks of delivery?
- Analyse and explain the drivers of spatial differences in cultural engagement across the UK?
