The Diversifying Drone Stories research project is seeking to recruit members of the UK drone industry to participate in upcoming online focus groups exploring professional, responsible and considerate drone use. In recognition that drones both enable and afford various benefits, and raise a range of challenges, the online focus groups will act as a forum for both sharing different experiences, practices and approaches, and networking with fellow members of the UK drone industry.
The online focus groups form part of Dr Anna Jackman of ARPAS-UK Member University of Reading’s Economic and Social Research Council research project, Diversifying Drone Stories, which explores the use, perception, and impact of drones in changing UK airspace.
The research project engages with diverse stakeholders (including emergency services, lawyers, industry, pilots, air traffic controllers, local authorities, regulatory, policy-makers, and members of the public) to understand different uses, experiences and perspectives on how drones may be (re)shaping UK airspace and everyday life.
If you have any questions or would like to express an interest in participating in the online focus groups, please email Dr Anna Jackman via email on a.h.jackman@reading.ac.uk and indicate your preferred date and time slot:
- Wednesday 26 April: 10.30am – 12.30pm
