Marine CoLABoration Workshop - July 2015
On 8th of July 2015 a group of 13 people came together in London as part of the Marine CoLABoration. There were two main purposes for the workshop: to clarify what has been learnt from the experiments and to introduce collbaorative processes to enable these (or similar) experiments to be used as a foundation for larger, longer term projects, using an iterative, experimental approach.
