ESRU The Emerging Securities Research Unit has won part of a major research network grant to sustain the four-year Espace et Territoire, an international and interdisciplinary network of projects between universities in France, UK, Belgium, Brazil, and Spain, worth 210,000 Euros and funded by the Agence Nationale De La Recherche.

Leading the UK node of the project with a team of anthropologists and designers at Cresson in Grenoble, Dr Peter Adey and Dr Luis Lobo-Guerrero (Lecturer in SPIRE) will work on the Spatial Enigmas theme, worth around 32,000 Euros. Focusing on public mobility infrastructures, the team will use experimental site-visits to examine the experience of everyday security and surveillance practices and techniques, threats and risks. The exchange of PhD students and possible research student funding will also be allocated from the project. (Feb 2011)
