A research campus in Norwich has been shortlisted for an industry award.

Norwich Research Park is up for an award in the Driving an Interactive Community category of the UK Science Park Association (UKSPA) 40th Anniversary Awards.

The UKSPA represents the UK’s science and business parks and the award recognises campuses which keep community at the heart of what they do. 

Roz Bird, CEO of Anglia Innovation Partnership, the organisation that manages Norwich Research Park, said: “We hope this further raises the profile of Norwich Research Park nationally and gives people an insight into why our environment is so welcoming.

“People and community are the ‘silver bullet’ that makes our research and innovation campus successful.
