Welcome to the Parks & Green Spaces Research Portal where you will find summaries of research as well as events and opportunities that may be of interest to your work.
How can I browse the Portal?
You can browse content in different ways. Uploaded Portal content is generally referred to as an ‘Item’ and Items come in three forms: Research, Events and Opportunities.
Items:
- Use the Research search tool to find summaries of completed and ongoing research, ranging from Masters student projects to large-scale multi-university projects. It’s useful here to use the drop-down Topic filter to find your specific areas of interest.
- Search Events to find online and in-person research-related events happening near you (or online). These will include public talks by researchers or parks professionals from all over the world and are well worth checking out.
- Use Opportunities to connect with researchers and/or parks professionals. Use the Collaboration type filter to see who is Looking For research participants, speakers, case study sites, project partners, help with CPD and/or research advice. You can also use the Collaboration type filter to see who is Offering funded PhDs, research funding and/ or jobs.
On each of these item types you can also do a general free text search; search by date, topics, countries, organisations, and level of research (e.g. Masters, PhD, professional and academic).
Projects
Under Projects you will find Items grouped together that relate to a Project – so a Project may have a number of Research, Event or Opportunity items associated with it and may span a wider period of time or research than the individual items themselves.
Directory
Our Directory can be used to search for a specific researcher or parks professional. This Directory will grow over time as more and more people use it. It is intended to help facilitate contacts and connections between and across researchers and parks professionals.
