Working with Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management R & D Programme
We collaboratively develop research which will deliver benefits for the FCERM practitioner community.
We share information between organisations, disciplines and scientists and practitioners. We work collaboratively to avoid duplicating work and investment.
Who we work with
Our partners include:
- government departments across England and Wales
- arms-length public bodies across the UK
- academia, including universities and UK and overseas funding bodies
- public sector research establishments and industry forum partnerships
- risk management authorities in England and Wales
- third sector organisations
- supply chain partners
- professional institutions
How our projects are decided
Groups who commission research projects are:
- Theme Advisory Groups (TAGs) made up of experts from a variety of backgrounds who advise on scientific needs and opportunities.
- Joint Programme Management Team (EA, Defra, NRW and WG) who advise on priorities and look for project synergies.
- Joint Programme Board (EA, Defra, NRW and WG) who decide on priorities and are accountable for the programme.
