The Data After Dark transdisciplinary research collaboration is the most comprehensive studies night workers completed to date. It was initiated by the UCL Social Data Institute with collaborators from the UCL Urban Laboratory, The Bartlett School of Architecture, the Geographic Data Service and Didobi Limited.

Data After Dark spans three detailed pieces of work:

• Voices of Night Workers: in-depth, documented, night worker-led discussions
• Didobi Night Worker Report: an extensive survey of night workers and their employers
• Mapping Night Work: the innovative spatial analysis of large datasets

The research was supported by the Mayor of London. It received support, advice and funding from UCL Innovation & Enterprise.
