The Environmental Ergonomics Research Centre (EERC - Loughborough University, UK) visited the 15th International Conference on Environmental Ergonomics, held in the beautiful town of Queenstown, New Zealand.
A strong 7 person delegation from the EERC took part to what
turned up to be an excellent meeting with great work and social time.
Prof.
George Havenith (Director of the Centre) guided a group composed by Davide
Filingeri, Alex Llyod and Damien Fournet (PhD students), Dr Sarah Davey
(Research Associate), Dr Steve Faulkner (University of Northampton) and Dr
Nicola Gerrett (University of Worcester). Interesting oral and poster
communications were delivered by all the members of the group and were based on
the variety of research interests covered by the research centre, as listed
below:
