The ADEPT Live Labs 2 programme is launching a series of collaborative workshops across the UK this autumn.
The move is designed to help local highway authorities turn the learning from the £30m innovation programme into practical, business-as-usual change, it said.
The programme is set to be begin in Glasgow from tomorrow – 17 September – and will run through until November.
The free regional workshops will bring together local authority decision makers, budget-holders and highway practitioners to explore how the innovations, tools and approaches developed through Live Labs 2 can help reduce carbon, cost and delivery time in highways maintenance programmes, ADEPT said.
Programme director Giles Perkins will take attendees through the seven Live Labs that formed the backbone part of the £30m research programme.
This will include signposting strategic and tactical tools, methods and solutions that can help identify where efficiencies, financial savings and carbon reductions can be delivered across the local highways sector, ADEPT added.

- 17th September, Glasgow
- 18th September, Newcastle
- 21st September, Stevenage
