As part of the process of opening up its new media production and development to independent producers, the BBC is collaborating with Creative London, ERDF Objective One, Yorkshire Forward, Screen Yorkshire, North-West Vision, and Unexpected Media on a pilot series of ‘Innovation Labs’ in February and March 2006.
The Labs are creative workshops in which interdisciplinary teams of professional creative technologists, application designers, software developers and interactive media designers will have the opportunity develop prototypes for innovative applications and services which could be commissioned by the BBC.
