[Olivia] The University has helped me in a variety of ways, so
I joined the Ingenuity Lab at the University.
I’ve done a lot of business courses with them through their enabling innovation programme
they helped me to develop and build
my website which was amazing.
There's so much support from the universities
here in Nottingham to help any businesses
wanting to grow or start up.
From things like branding, price pointing, how to do a pop-up shop
and I’m really proud to be a Nottingham business through and through.
[Isobelle] Winning the Nottingham Young Creative Award was a
springboard to starting my career as a freelance illustrator
but also to gain self confidence in myself and my work
and I’m really excited about being part of the Nottingham creative scene.
[Nick] The Young Creative Awards has been running in Nottingham for 12 years
It’s supported by Nottingham Trent University
and the University of Nottingham
who help to support this big burst of
creativity across the city every year.
[Harry] Well Children’s University gets you out more and doing more fun activities
It’s fun and it makes me more fit
[Mrs Dorrington] The Children’s University is a scheme where the children
can get credits and be rewarded for any learning they do
beyond and outside the normal classroom learning.
[Harry] I think this part of the Children’s University
it has made more people want to go to university
because they’ve actually seen what it’s like.
[Husna] Looking back at what I’ve achieved during the last few years makes me feel really proud
Being a practical person allowed me to show my creative side and practical side with an apprenticeship
and being able to get on-the-job experience as well as learning
it’s just the best of both worlds.
[Dr Guha] So the Scarred Liver Project is about trying to find significant liver disease
So what we’ve done is we’ve created a pathway
that allows us to detect patients at an earlier stage of their disease
when we can do something about it.
The Nottingham University NHS Trust and University have a very close partnership
and our research is really focused on patients.
[Malcolm] The fibroscan gave me extra years of normal life without having liver problem symptoms
and for that I’m always going to be grateful.
[Nick] We worked very closely with the universities to secure the grant
and then to build a Demonstration Project at Trent Basin
and that’s what we now have, we have a fully working, all plugged together
Community Energy Demonstration Project.
Nottingham is an excellent place to do this sort of a project
because we have access to two universities actually
University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University.
The university has brought, academia, business, technical experts,
together in a very exciting and quite innovative collaboration.
We couldn’t have done it on our own, the university couldn’t have done it without industry
the sum of the parts is very much greater than the whole.
[Abdulhameed] It’s a club where it’s half sport and half social action, which is helping the community
but it’s not split, we do it at the same time.
[Bex] The scheme is supported by Nottingham University, Nottingham Trent University
and Nottingham College.
We use volunteers to deliver the sessions in schools
to really benefit the local community.
[Abdulhameed] I would say if you enjoy helping the community
and you also enjoy sport, then this is the place for you.
[Anika] When I first started the business I came to the
university and asked if there was any business
support that they could give to their alumni
and I was directed to the Ingenuity Lab.
The Ingenuity Lab has given me a sense of grounding
I can access mentors
I have mentors here at the university who are resident professors here and I can get that insight.
It’s been amazing and I feel fully supported and able to launch my business from a solid foundation.
