The Digital Catapult team were fantastic to work with – incredibly knowledgeable, methodologically flexible and ethically engaged in the project from the start. I’d love to have them involved in all of my research projects

We’re hoping to upskill the region. We want to get those talented individuals who don’t have that first-hand experience in an environment like this (Advanced Media Production Studios) to come with us and learn the ropes, and show to other employers either here or further afield, that they’re more than capable and able and willing to do it
