Laboratory. From the Mediaeval Latin laboratorium: a place for labour or work. A space or set of conditions conducive for testing, experimentation, or practice.
CRASSH has launched a new Research Labs programme to facilitate innovative practices of collaborative working in the arts, social sciences, and humanities, both within and beyond the University. Each Research Lab will bring together researchers from at least two Schools and at least one non-academic partner to work creatively and collaboratively on joint initiatives over a period of two years in the first instance.
Some Research Labs will also involve researchers in the life sciences, medicine, technology or engineering. Research Labs will be spaces for curiosity-driven exploration that will help to reshape how we do research, how we exchange ideas, and how we work with partners beyond academia.
