We are excited to announce the publication of our first refereed journal article. The article explores ‘personal air pollution exposure assessment with schoolchildren in rural Wales’. It can be found in the Journal of Environmental Management, Volume 397. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Over the past two summers, Lle Llais has shown how events can nurture not only creativity but also the Welsh language as a living part of community life. publicmap.org/en/blog/the-... ✍️ Emily-Louise Beech

At the end of September, we gathered together in the Pierhead and Senedd in Cardiff Bay to celebrate the work of the first phase of Public Map. We're so happy to share this film with you which captures things so beautifully. Diolch yn fawr i bawb who joined us. youtu.be/go-_lPhGQHA

Today, I'm off to the second WeAll Cymru Festival of Ideas. I've written a piece about how @publicmap.bsky.social speaks to the Wellbeing Economy agenda and is a tangible tool and set of practices that contribute to shifting the system. dotiau.org/2025/11/11/p...

A rare foray into the wild for me. It was a privilege to speak at the @publicmap.bsky.social on inclusive public engagement with the title “Whose voices matter?” I know we’re not disembodied voices. I’m still wondering what I could have used as a more accurate title. Maybe insights? Or knowledge?

The Tools for Transition exhibition is open at the @designmuseum.bsky.social. It showcases the 4 @ukri.org AHRC-funded Green Transition Ecosystems: @transforming-homes.bsky.social, Design HOPES, @futureislandisland.bsky.social and @publicmap.bsky.social Free to visit from Sept 2025 to Aug 2026.

We’re enjoying learning about the @publicmap.bsky.social project today at the Pierhead. Trialled on Ynys Môn, there’s so much potential on so many different layers - environmental, social, cultural… impossible to summarise here, you can learn more on their website! publicmap.org/en

New exhibition in the Oriel Môn history gallery - Anglesey and the Topographical Tradition. A great collection of antique engravings from places around Anglesey. It will be on show until 18 January 2026.

Couldn't agree more @dotiau.bsky.social - the perfect place to bring everyone together and hear about the latest updates in relation to this important project - thank you all for sharing your work!

Collective smiles from the Public Map team when our work is referenced by another speaker in their presentation on digital interventions in electoral democracy @wiserd-research.bsky.social conference.

Team @publicmap.bsky.social out in full force today at the @wiserd-research.bsky.social annual conference. It was so great to hear different aspects of Public Map being showcased… and also so much interest in the project.

Tune in to Radio Cymru this evening at 19:00 to hear Dr Tristian Evans talking about Public Map and in particular, mapping Ynys Mon’s music. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

It was a pleasure to share our work with Welsh Government’s Cohesive Communities Division this afternoon. A big thank you to Andrew Charles for the invitation.

Llongyfarchiadau mawr to the children at Y Bont! We’re so happy that they chose to create a map for their Eisteddfod entry and even more thrilled for their success and opportunity to exhibit their work at the Eisteddfod. Da iawn. Rili hyfryd.

Multi-talented Fliss - Research Project Co-ordinator and creative extraordinaire - inspiring people attending our conference session to write, draw, doodle thoughts, comments, questions! A Healthier, Wealthier and Fairer Wales conference 📍Venue Cymru

A privilege to share our work at the ‘A Healthier, Wealthier, and Fairer Wales’ conference today. Lovely to meet lots of people committed, like us, to exploring ways to engage inclusively and where children’s rights and social justice are central to a hopeful future.

For anyone who is interested in data and its use in informing policy, this is well worth listening to. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Calling all community groups on Ynys Môn! Join us to map your working relationships to show where there is support, where there are gaps, where there are shared goals… Please share. www.eventbrite.com/e/map-workin...

Our project is rooted in Cymru. The idea stemmed from our wonderful colleagues at Cyngor Ynys Môn and further developed with them. There’s a reason why the island is known as Gwlad y Medra and is the perfect place to pilot our innovative approaches.

We regularly publish blogs about the project… to share the various voices involved, how they’re involved, and why their involvement is important. publicmap.org/en/blog

Want to know what Public Map Platform is all about? Here’s a fab 2 minute explainer 👇🏻 youtu.be/gIcCo5Ltvpo?...

Public Map Platform is a major collaborative research project led by Cambridge, Cardiff, Wrexham and Bangor Universities. Its aim is to show that a transparent and trustworthy planning system based on maps made by and for communities is really possible. [1/3]

We are getting excited about seeing our work in the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia entitled 'Intelligens'. Natural. artificial. Collective' curated by Carlo Ratti #BiennaleArchitettura2025

On Iona in Scotland & happened upon a fascinating & very educational presentation by @ionanamescape.bsky.social to a full house in the community centre. Amazing map resource of historic multilingual place names, like us funded by AHRC. Also interesting example of a publicly accessible database.

Our partners the Cambridge Room successfully tested out their 'Let's Talk About' event format yesterday in Cambridge. Feelings were running high in a discussion about the highly contested Beehive Project. #planning #community

We're committed to increasing our accessibility so that more people can enjoy and support wildlife For #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek we're highlighting changes made to our Climate and Conservation Traineeship coursework last year. Read our blog 'Removing barriers to learning' here: bit.ly/4kUUBI9
