Culture Lab OnSite is a project space run by Newcastle University in the city centre of Newcastle. The project was intiated by Jamie Allen, and run by Bernhard Garnicnig mostly over 2011.
It seeks University engagement with local communities, commercial and industry partners. OnSite wants to enliven the City Centre of Newcastle with interesting culture, arts and technology research and events.
We extend community engagement initiatives outside of the University campus. We assist in designing and implementing partnership projects between creative industry partners and the University.
Through public events and projects, we create an increased public awareness of teaching subjects at Newcastle University. We want to create an accessible, dynamic off-campus environment for research, engagement and creativity.
Culture Lab OnSite is open to your suggestions and ideas, we want to be a place where we can work with an open-minded, collaborative and innovative methods.
