About
Defra Network eTendering Portal awarded a contract to University of Salford for a PhD research project on model transferability for improved preparedness against emerging tree diseases.
The project will use a range of modelling approaches to compare how predictions from models parameterised at one location perform in new locations and across different disease species, defining multiple model-performance criteria to test the impact of transferability on the accuracy of estimating intervention strategies, with direct relevance to DEFRA.
The contract value is £70,000.
