City as Lab connects digital research with the people, places and policymakers of the Nottingham city region. It facilitates collaboration through small-scale project funding, the use of friendly convening space at Castle Meadow Campus in the heart of the city, and the offer of award-winning tools for harnessing and visualising place-based data.

We regularly host city and regional policymakers, government departments and community and voluntary organisations. This ranges from Nottingham City Council, the East Midlands Combined County Authority and the Department for Transport to the NHS City Care Partnership and charities like Refugee Roots and the Canal and River Trust, among many others.
