PLACELAB is back!
We’re really excited to be partnering with Oxford University’s Blavatnik School of Government and University Campus North Lincolnshire to host our next Place Lab on Friday 20 June.
The ambition for the evening is to bring an independent perspective from the Blavatnik School, together with key voices from across North Lincolnshire, to accelerate thinking and relationship building around a vital priority – how do we create more, good-quality jobs locally?
While there has been welcome positive news around British Steel – and the government has rightly recognised the Scunthorpe site as of national importance – we want this to be a springboard to attract even more good-quality, well-paid jobs to our area.
As part of the event, renowned economist Sir Paul Collier will be discussing his latest book 'Left Behind', drawing on his long experience working in countries around the world as well as his personal experience growing up in Sheffield, and reflections for Scunthorpe.
