City as Lab is supporting researchers, communities and local partners to use or generate data to tell a new ‘story’ about Nottingham linked to a people-centred, place-based challenge. This can range from health, wellbeing, environment and transport to community life and culture.
Our goal is to tell diverse stories that shape understanding of the Nottingham city region for people, places and policymakers.
Projects must be led by a researcher based at the University of Nottingham with partner collaboration being a key criteria.
This year's call has now closed
The Nottingham Urban Room is a neutral space where people can come together to understand, debate and get involved in the past, present and future of Nottingham and the wider region.
Join our projects and events to develop meaningful connections, to help understand the city’s assets and challenges, and to influence the way Nottingham grows and prepares for the future.
Events are hosted and co-facilitated by Nottingham City Council and Universities for Nottingham.
