> The BCS Sociotechnical Group invites you to this event on the 20th of

> behaviour, workspace design, social care and child welfare, and the
> management of crowd behavior and crowd events. With this in mind the aims

> 
> €    To build awareness of these exciting advances and their impact on
> practice
> €    To stimulate discussion on possible future applications of a
> sociotechnical approach
