A bright future

Hello and welcome to our first newsletter in a new era.  We are one month into the new financial year and progressively moving to a future where, as FrontierSI, we will build on our track record of successful research outcomes. We are transforming to a more partner focussed organisation which develops, brokers, manages and delivers user-led applied collaborative spatial research initiatives. It’s as busy as ever! Our first month has been an exciting one; signing up partners, creating new governance structures, working with a new board, setting new agile research directions and developing new collaborative initiatives.
