The Universities for Nottingham initiative is a pioneering collaboration, which brings together the combined strength and civic missions of Nottingham’s two world-class universities. Over the next few years it will improve the way we work with each other and with our local partners to help change the lives of local people for the better.

What's happened so far?
The Universities for Nottingham Civic Agreement is the result of over 400 hours of conversation between over 150 local partners and colleagues across both universities. It sets out an action plan for us to make a difference to the educational opportunity, economic prosperity, health and wellbeing and environmental sustainability of our local communities. As part of the action planning, we will measure the progress we are making working with our partners and report back on a regular basis.

Our ambition
Our ambition is to use this base as a foundation from which we can work more effectively with each other and with our partners to unlock the talent and expertise of our two universities. Together, we want to help drive improvements in economic prosperity, educational opportunity, health and wellbeing and environmental sustainability across our region.
Through this initiative we want to say clearly to the people, communities and businesses with whom we share a common place, that we are also your universities… the Universities for Nottingham.
