Why is Newcastle a Science City?

Newcastle was designated as one of six UK Science Cities in 2005 in recognition of the world-class research being undertaken by its universities and the potential of its science industry base.

The city has three main areas of excellence: Ageing & Health, Sustainability and Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine. Each area has a number of locations dispersed across the city.
