As the person within the team whose responsibility it is to carry out desk based research, I thought it is about time to share with you what I find, and find useful, regarding the digital agenda.
I am not an expert or even a researcher by trade – but I enjoy looking, have quite a lot of luck at finding useful material and my colleagues have cottoned on to this fact (and it is in my job description!).
4iP, Channel 4‘s innovation fund for digital media, has started announcing its grant awards and it’s good to see that Birmingham has a part in them.
Will Perrin‘s Talk About Local is a collaboration with UK Online Centres to establish a network of tools with support for individuals and community groups to set up their own online presence. Because of the strength of blogging talent in Birmingham, more particularly the many people using social media to increase civic engagement and give people a voice in their community, Talk About Local will be doing a lot of it’s early work in the Midlands. Much of this will be in Birmingham but the Black Country and Stoke should get a look in as well. More – 4iP Projects Announced
Digital Birmingham is a Birmingham City Council initiative and part of a city wide strategic partnership of more than 40 public, private and voluntary organisations
