Eleanor Kean PhD

Supporting your environmental evidence needs
Often with a focus on freshwaters, I support organisations with their environmental research needs, including research design, data analysis and visualisation, framing research questions, and evidence reviews. As an experienced chair, I lead inclusive stakeholder engagement that drives meaningful collaboration and shared outcomes.
My work can enhance understanding and collaborations between academia and policy and practice.

“a robust, meticulous colleague with an excellent eye for detail. It was a joy to work with someone so efficient in managing a complex project and that helped keep me on task and on time such that she drove the timely delivery of the project.”
— Dr Sarah Perkins, Reader, Cardiff University

“She brings a combination of thoughtful analysis, genuine care for people, and the ability to work brilliantly both independently or with groups of stakeholders. Her knowledge, insight, and collaborative approach made her an invaluable colleague and a real asset to any project.”
— Dafydd Thomas, Director, The Wellbeing Planner
