Global Disability Innovation Hub
The Global Disability Innovation Hub brings together partners connected to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to make a positive difference to the lives of disabled people. The hub has been designed to amplify the legacy of the 2012 Paralympic Games, working with local communities, academics, experts and disabled people to drive innovation, co-design and collaboration.

They do this through three strands of work:
1) Delivering exceptional, inter-disciplinary research, teaching and practice
