On 9 May 2025, the FDRI team came together at UKCEH Wallingford to for the second annual meeting of the project.

This was a wonderful opportunity to connect with colleagues across all partner organisations and celebrate the achievements of the first year of the project. As we look forward into year 2 of the delivery phase, we shared our key opportunities and challenges. 

We also received demonstrations of the new monitoring equipment within FDRI from the field teams and a walkthough of the new data processing system from the digital team.

Simon Stanley and Hollie Cooper describe the new data flow processes currently being developed within the FDRI digital team.

The FDRI team would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been involved in the project so far, whether you're part of the project team, have attended a workshop, given feedback on our work or engaged with our new innovations. FDRI is being delivered by and for the community, and we couldn't progress this vital work without you.
