I research effective evidence use for policy creation, but my personal passion is Digital Inclusion in Wales (as well as further afield). Will take any excuse to go outside.

Hi all! I'm looking for recommendations for academics or practitioners based in or around #Cardiff for an afternoon in March who can speak about a #fourdayworkweek at a short afternoon event. Any reccomendations?
