London Knowledge Lab: two new research centresBy mutual and cordial agreement, the institutional collaboration between UCL and Birkbeck at the London Knowledge Lab has come to an end. UCL and Birkbeck have launched two new research centres, the UCL Knowledge Lab and the Birkbeck Knowledge Lab, which extend the legacy of the London Knowledge Lab. The London Knowledge lab was led since 2004 by Professors Richard Noss and Alex Poulovassilis as a collaborative initiative between computer scientists from Birkbeck and educators from the Institute of Education, funded by the Science Research Investment Fund. Our shared legacy includes over a decade of interdisciplinary research funded by ESRC, EPSRC, AHRC, EU, JISC among others; a variety of knowledge exchange and public engagement activities; and a distinctive postgraduate training programme. We retain our common London Knowledge Lab presence on this website, in recognition of this shared legacy and over a decade of successful interdisciplinary research together.
