Horizon Digital Economy Research Institute (www.horizon.ac.uk) involves leading researchers whose expertise spans computer science, user-centred design, satellite positioning systems, geographical information systems, science and society, and innovation and entrepreneurship, as well as the three key sectors energy, transportation and the creative industries. The centre combines internationally leading research groups from across the UK.
The Mixed Reality Laboratory (http://www.mrl.nott.ac.uk/) is an interdisciplinary facility where computer scientists, psychologists, sociologists, architects and artists collaborate to explore the potential of ubiquitous technologies to shape everyday life.
The Human Factors Research Group ( http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/engineering-rg/manufacturing/humanfactors/index.aspx )focuses on understanding the characteristics and capabilities of people individually and in teams, and improving knowledge about people's interaction with systems in manufacturing and process control, transport, service and leisure industries.
The Institute of Engineering Surveying and Space Geodesy (http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/iessg/) is an internationally recognized postgraduate training and research centre, covering a wide range of multi-disciplinary research topics including navigation and positioning systems, navigation, photogrammetry, remote sensing, sensor integration, geodesy, environmental research and geographical information systems.
The Centre for Geospatial Science (http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/cgs/) focuses on post-graduate research in location-based services, geospatial intelligence, and spatial data infrastructures (SDI) and interoperability.
The University of Nottingham Institute for Enterprise and Innovation (www.nottingham.ac.uk/uniei) specialises in entrepreneurship education ranging from creative problem solving and effective decision making to technology transfer, commercialisation and innovation alongside research into these areas.
Science and Technology Studies (STS) (http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/research/priorities/scienceandtechnology/index.aspx) examines the social, ethical, legal and cultural implications of science and technology including the movement of innovations from laboratory to practice, the nature and implications of public responses to new technologies, and public policy responses.
