IAHS Cross-disciplinary Workshop

IAHS Cross-disciplinary Workshop
-

This is a past event

The workshop was presented by members of HERU’s Methods of Benefit Valuation team, as well as colleagues from across the IAHS. HERU are internationally known for their work on Discrete Choice Experiments (DCES), much of our applied and methodological work has been carried out in collaboration with IAHS colleagues. The workshop provided an overview of what DCEs are, what they can do for you, and showcased some of our cutting edge methodological work. Participants were also given an opportunity to complete a DCE, and discuss the method.
