<span class="eop">is a new creative engine for digital research and engaged academic practice at UoN,
</span></span>connecting researchers, communities and partners in collaborative projects that tackle real-world challenges in the Nottingham city region. Developing from the Digital Nottingham initiative, City as Lab brings people together to create, co-produce
and test new ideas, tools and technologies that put local challenges at the heart of activities. In 2023-24, City as Lab is inviting colleagues to participate in two challenge themes: 1)
<b>Telling stories about the city using digital and data</b>; 2) <b>Improving the lives of young people</b>. Please see below, inviting participation in the first theme.

<p class="MsoNormal">City as Lab will run a 9-month programme to July 2024 to support engagement with collaborators and partners around an identified challenge where the outcome of your activity could be conceived as a new ‘story’ about the Nottingham city
region. <b>The goal is to harness data to surface diverse stories (across disciplines and with different partners) that provide insight, and shape understanding, of the city region for people, places and policymakers in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire</b><o:p></o:p></p>

<b>that relates to a challenge area</b> <b>that you would like to find ways to communicate or share with a particular community</b></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> (challenge areas could include health, skills, sustainability, community connection, economic
development, inclusion, environment, etc etc). You may be seeking to find ways of involving a particular stakeholder group for instance. This sharing could be via workshops and engagement events and/or it could be through the development of digital assets
or visual materials that support the wider communication and broader stakeholder engagement as an important step in knowledge exchange or to support a specific impact initiative. Projects will need to define a specific output format as part of their proposal.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol>

here is your imagination and your preferred methods) and/or it could be through the development of new
<i>creative</i> outcomes that illustrate this new data, as above. For instance, a creative activity that involves a community group in the development of creative materials related to a particular research and knowledge exchange concern (mental health, sexuality,
climate change etc. etc.)<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For each of these routes, we would encourage you to think about how you might embed digital methods, approaches or expertise within your activity (from data collection to data exhibition and dissemination). We are also particularly interested
in promoting and supporting interdisciplinary working and our programme of engagement will help promote this across the scheme.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">At the workshops we will work with you to develop a short proposal that you will submit either at the end of the day following your session or very soon thereafter (the proposal requirements will be light touch). If selected for funding
you will have approximately 6 – 9 months in which to complete your activity and will be required to complete a short reporting form. Towards the end of the programme of activity there will be the opportunity to bid for further funding to contribute to a City
as Lab showcase of these stories.<o:p></o:p></p>
