The MRL will be part of Nottingham's new Doctoral Training Centre in Ubiquitous Computing for the Digital Economy. Ubiquitous Computing, in which millions of computers become embedded into the world around us, promises to transform the ways in which we work, shop, travel, learn, socialise and play, and will drive the growth of the digital economy in the 21st century.

Supported by £8 million investment from EPSRC, the University, and over 30 industry partners, we will recruit more than 50 PhD students over the next five years. These students will experience an innovative PhD programme that combines a PhD research project with training in interdisciplinary research and innovation skills and an industrial internship.
