Science City Bristol
The Bristol City Region was named as one of 6 UK science cities
in 2005. This title was given to the area because of its:
- world-class universities
- successful companies with a science and technology focus
- potential to use science and innovation to boost the region’s
economy
Science City Bristol
covers Bristol, Bath and the surrounding area. The definition of
Science is very broad. It covers technology, social sciences, and
engineering and digital media, as well as physical, chemical and
biological sciences.
Science City Bristol's vision is to ‘support and develop the
area's science and innovation to deliver sustainable economic and
social benefit’. This vision will be achieved through 3 main areas
of activity:
1. Connectivity
2. Increasing investment:
- Promoting the high level science and technology in the
region
- Supporting inward investment activities
3. Public engagement:
- Raising public awareness of the high level science and
technology taking place
- Exciting the public through science based events
- Raising the enthusiasm and skill levels in science and
technology of our school children.
Science City Bristol is supported by a number of partners from
the public, private and academic sectors.
More information on the Science City Bristol partners and
programmes can be found on the Science City
Bristol website.
