We bring in expertise from across the university in the form of secondments. An active group of PhD students are supervised by the team. More information can be found here. To find out more about Lab4Living please download our booklet here.
Since it was formed, the lab has worked with UK and international groups from Industry, other HEIs, Communities, Third Sector, Care Homes, Local and National Government, and Hospitals.
Within our own wider institution, we have formal collaborations with other teams including Design Futures, Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research, Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre, Centre for Loneliness Studies.
