This event explores connections between spatial demographics and consumer data. It will outline some of the ways in which data about consumers can be used to enhance our understanding of populations. It will detail the functions and research interests of the Centre for Spatial Demographics Research (CSDR) and the Consumer Data Research Centre (CDRC) and consider ways in which participants could make use of available resources or build collaborations with the Centres. The event will be of interest to anyone interested in the possibilities offered by consumer data and specifically those who wish to know more about what data are available and what kinds of research is currently being undertaken using such sources.
Aims
There are three main aims of this event:
1) To introduce the Centre for Spatial Demographics Research (CSDR) and the Consumer Data Research Centre (CDRC). The services offered by CDRC will be detailed, with a focus on datasets available to internal and external researchers.
2) To summarise selected current research being undertaken in both centres and to explore the potential of data hosted by the CDRC.
3) To explore possibilities for collaboration between CSDR and CDRC and between internal and external researchers.

- 11:00 – 11:15 Chris Lloyd - introduction to CSDR
- 11:15 – 11:30 Alex Singleton - introduction to CDRC
- 11:30 – 12:30 Presentations from keynote speakers
a) Qualitative/mixed methods and retail and consumer data: Jonathan Reynolds, Oxford University (Academic Director of Oxford Institute of Retail Management)
