Science City Bristol
The Bristol City Region was named as one of 6 UK science cities
by the Government 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
