Nottingham Science City
Nottingham is very proud to be a government-designated Science City, one of six in the UK. The University is a key player in Nottingham Science City and this status delivers direct benefits to our students as the region is a hive of science and technology activity.
The aims of Nottingham Science City are to:
- Nurture Nottingham’s role as an international leader in scientific discovery and teaching excellence
- Stimulate community pride and interest in our scientific heritage
- Convert science into thriving businesses in Nottingham.
Nottingham has a strong scientific history with more than two centuries of impressive scientific developments and inventions. For example, the painkiller ibuprofen and the life-saving MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanner were invented here.
"The time is right for Nottingham to take forward its ambitions as an international location for science. The Science City project has brought together all of the key players in Nottingham, and we are working together to deliver that ambition for the city and the region."
Professor Neil Gorman, Vice Chancellor of Nottingham Trent University and Chair of Nottingham Science City Board
