Collaboratory Research Hub

Welcome to the official LinkedIn page for the Universities for Nottingham Collaboratory Doctoral Research Training Programme. Collaboratory (pronounced co-laboratory) is a pioneering new programme supported by Nottingham Trent University, the University of Nottingham, and the Universities for Nottingham partnership. The programme aims to bring together researchers, community-focused organisations, and local citizens to deliver meaningful change for the people of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. An eight-year-long, £5.1m project, funded by the Research England Development Fund, Co(l)laboratory will engage local citizens, organisations, and communities in setting the agenda for research at their local universities, conducting those research projects, and empowering communities to lead local change. Over the next eight years, Co(l)laboratory will train 50 Ph.D. students, deliver 30 community events, provide 25 paid ‘Citizen Scientist’ research placements, support 15 community projects, and produce a national blueprint for how to support Ph.D. candidates to develop as future civic leaders.
