13th October 2009

Bath Spa University is a partner in Science City Bristol, which hosted the Sixth Science City Summit at the Assembly Rooms in Bath on 8th and 9th October 2009.

Science City Bristol covers Bristol, Bath and the surrounding area and is made up of a diverse range of partners from both commercial and public sectors.

Science City Bristol will support and develop the area's science and innovation assets to deliver sustainable economic and social benefit by:

  • Bringing business, academia and government together
  • Creating a more connected scientific community
  • Promoting the area's scientific achievements to help attract even more world-leading scientific enterprise and research
  • Creating a culture for all which understands and celebrates science and technology

The definition of 'science' is a broad one, which sees a link between science, art and culture and includes technology, social sciences, engineering and creative technologies, as well as the more traditional physical, chemical and biological sciences.

The innovation and enterprise projects at Bath Spa University have much to contribute to the aims of Science City Bristol, particularly in the areas of digital media, graphic communications, food technology and geotechnologies.
