This case study is part of a series of in-depth reports on religiously motivated violent radicalisation - and resilience to it - in 12 countries. The series examines periods in which religious radicalisation and violence has escalated and analyses relevant policy and political discourses surrounding them. While seeking to identify factors that drove radicalisation and violence in each country, the case studies also critically assess programmes of prevention and resilience-building, identifying good practices. This series was produced by GREASE, an EU-funded research project investigating religious diversity, secularism and religiously inspired radicalisation. ; This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement number 770640.

Data Study Groups are week-long events at The Alan Turing Institute bringing together some of the country's top talent from data science, artificial intelligence, and wider fields, to analyse real-world data science challenges. Exploring and quantifying the effect of weather on sales ASDA, one of the biggest supermarket chains in the UK, is interested in how weather affects sales of certain product groups. Understanding the weather-sales relationship would allow ASDA to manage the supply-chain system and distribution in a timely and efficient manner, particularly reducing the risk of food waste for fresh products such as meat while having products in stock as needed. The analysis of the weather-sales relationship builds on a huge dataset which includes daily sales data for 151 product groups in over 600 stores across the UK over 3 years, and daily weather conditions at each store, including mean daily humidity, wind speed, rainfall, snowfall and minimum and maximum daily temperature. The Alan Turing Institute is the UK's national institute for data science and artificial intelligence, with headquarters at the British Library. Data Study Groups are intensive five day collaborative hackathons hosted at the The Alan Turing Institute, which bring together organisations from industry, government, and the third sector, with multi-disciplinary researchers from academia. ASDA, the Data Study Group Challenge Owner, provided the real-world challenge and the data to be tackled by a group of researchers led by two Principal Investigators and a Facilitator. This report is the culmination of that process and is the result of their joint co-authorship.
